LOONS, GREBES, PELICANS and CORMORANTS. The earliest Common Loon 
reported was found at Crab Orchard Refuge, 7 March; the latest, 14 May, at Rend Lake 
(B. Peterjohn). The only spring record of a Red-throated Loon came from E. St. Louis, 8 
April (*J. Eades). Red-necked Grebes included singles at Springfield, 19-31 March (D. 
Bohlen), s. Cook County, 4 April (*A. Duke) and Olney, 11 April (*L. Harrison). Horned 
Grebes were reported from only half of our 18 Districts between 16 February and 12 
May; the majority were present during March and the one day maximum was 28 at 
Springfield, 22 March (D. Bohlen). Only two Eared Grebes were reported: one each at E. 
St. Louis, 13-16 March (J. Eades) and Carbondale, 19 April (*B. Peterjohn). The 
American White Pelican found at Cordova last winter remained there all spring, (E. 
Fawks). Migrating Double-crested Cormorants were first detected 25 March at Lake 
Chautauqua and last (6) noted 21 May, also at Lake Chautauqua (R. Sandburg); two of 
the seven present at E. St. Louis, 30 April, were still there 8 May (J. Eades); a single bird 
was encountered at Springfield, 3 April (D. Bohlen).
