During my recent trip to Magee Marsh and Kelley's Island in Northern Ohio, I took these two pictures, but am having trouble positively identifying. Thanks for all the help!

Welcome to Whatbird! You have a Ruby-crowned Kinglet and a Common Loon in non-breeding plumage.

Thanks for the help! I thought that was the case with the RCK, but wasn't sure about the Loon. I've never seen a Common Loon outside of my mid-summer trips to Minnesota and so never in non-breeding plummage. You folks are great.
