Sorry for the delay in responding...been busy traveling throughout the Northeast...it never ends.

To answer the question, the photo was taken on August 14 in 19 Mile Bay. Although the little guy still had a lot of down, he was doing alright for himself, was probably 12-14 inches long, and was busy looking under the water for something to eat. I'd imagine he/she would be quite a bit larger before the loons leave for their offshore winter homes in another 8-9 weeks.

A couple of additional shots from that day (sorry for the enormous size...):
