Goin' Loony

[Hillbillygirl]

We were down at the cottage with friends two weeks ago and got a few pics of the loons while out in the boat. They let us get quite close actually.

Morning's catch.




Juvenile bothering Mom for a meal.




Nice dark water in the early morning.




Did I say we got close. No cropping, just straight out of camera.

Oh these are incredible. Love them all, can't pic a favorite. Maybe the third one by a nose ... but only a nose .... fantastic.

Wow, super set. Love them all. Super sharp eyes. Love the water colour in number 4 and of course the Mom and juvenile shot is priceless.

[Bambi]

I've always loved loons- their call is very haunting. I love these captures- particularly the juvenile.

Champ pics as always...........#4 because of the water ripple in front of the loon........

[Mike Bons]

What a great series. I love the feather detail on the head in #4. Its always nice seeing the juvies with the parents as well.

[Hillbillygirl]

Thanks all, and glad you enjoyed them.
Yes Mike, that fourth shot was the only bird that had not made a dive yet, hence the dry head showing more detail.

That's great shooting indeed. I can't pick a fav out of those ... maybe the fish one, that's cool.
