"Rare Bird Sighting Halts Bellagio Fountain Shows in Las Vegas"

The Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas paused its famous fountain show to rescue a rare Yellow-billed Loon, one of the 10 rarest birds in the U.S., that had landed in the waters. Wildlife officials are monitoring the bird with hopes that it moves away, as the species is vulnerable to oil spills, pollution, and the effects of climate change. The world population for the yellow-billed loon has been estimated at under 10,000, with half of them in Alaska.
