Yellow-billed Loon - Reeves Co., November, 1993. One first-winter bird was photographed on Lake Balmorhea during its stay 25 November - 10 December 1993 before being found dead the afternoon of 10 December 1993, TBRC# 1993-149, TPRF #1201, *TCWC #13025. Examination of the specimen revealed the bird suffered from mycotic airsacculitis and pneumonia presumably brought on by a fungal related infection (Arnold). A photograph documenting this first record for the Trans-Pecos was published in AB 48:128.
