Hey Minna

Thanks for the post. I never get close enough either. This time I was out my boat, a little kayak with the top cut out into a canoe. That was the only way I could get close enough for some images. And some of the loons I found on other ponds still wouldn’t let me get close. The 2 on this lake were great, they let me paddle up and take some pictures, if I did it slowly and cautiously. And I agree with you, isn’t that call just WAY too cool?

Hey Dave

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Cheers

Carl

So true Carl! This a beautiful photograph that translates the beauty of the bird very well. Excellent.

I agree! Loons are very special, from the way they look to the way they sound. For me, they symbolise a calm summer’s evening by a remote lake. I don’t often get close enough to photograph them, but just hearing them is enough to make me happy.

A beautiful picture of a beautiful bird - thanks for sharing!
