These were out of a moving 16 ft. aluminum boat. Again shooting into the light. We tried circling around them to get light in our favour but they would dive and pop up on opposite side of boat.
Two, I managed to salvage.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
I tried to hold the boat steady, since my camera was in use anyways!
MA, I believe these are Loons.
Thanks MA, and yes they are Common Loons.
If it wasn't for Kev and his nautical skills we could not have gotten these pics. Quite the ships Captain he is.

Beautiful photos! I love loons, their calls are so eerie; I love it.
Loons are so hard to photograph, I can never get good photos. I find it hard to get their eyes in focus. Great work.
I quite like the tonality in this "bad light".

"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
I really like these shots. You have used the bright reflections behind them to isolate them in the frame which is a bit of creative genius IMHO. Nice work
Thank you so much Kevin, Matt, Marko, and Dan. Really appreciate the compliments.
(note for KevHarm: Where are your Golden Eagle shots from that day?????? Lets see'em!)
