These are lousy pictures I know, but I was hoping someone might be able to ID these two birds. I haven't been able to reach a conclusion myself. They were taken last week. The loon was taken @Crescent City, CA and the wren was @ Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. It was in a field. thank you!

I think Common Loon. Even though the bill doesn't look very strong, the suggested dark collar at the base of the neck and general shape of the bird indicates this.

Common Loon was my thought also

Thanks for your input. The loon was very far away - couldn't get a good look with my binoculars either.
