Common loons require long stretches of open water for take off. Some loons are fatally trapped every year in the north by constricting ice as lakes freeze in the fall. This loon is in non breeding winter plumage. Captured him while canoeing.
Thank you for your comments and favs on yesterday photo "The Lodge"
Very nice capture of the loon Kathy, but if I may make a suggestion, Best when photographing birds and animals to leave more space in front of the animal and less in the back. This is the emil someplace to go.
