Call of the Wild

Loons show their true size when they rise out of the water and issue their mournful cry. It truly is a magnificent and large bird. This individual lived up to his reputation of being called a lonely loon. In another month we hope to see them coming together for their annual migration down south. It is something I really look forward to, seeing between eight to twelve loons calling out and dancing upon the water. Hope to capture this amazing sight next month!

Thank you for putting yesterdays photo on the PP, so glad you liked it. Have a great weekend all!
It's a beautiful animal. Fantastic lighting. Looking forward to seeing your migration photos!!

I guess I don't think of loons as being anything but a petit little water bird but this pictures proves otherwise. Such wonderful lighting.

Awesome shot! I love these birds- it's so much fun to watch them disappear under the water and guess where they might come up.

Wonderful shot. We heard a loon once this summer but couldn't get in position to photograph it. We were on a narrow road.
