Loon

While canoeing we had the opportunity to watch a family of loons, this loon was trying to distract us from the babies!
My favourite sound is the call of the Loon, check it out below:

Love this, beautiful markings - I played the link and my collie was sitting cocking her head first on one side and then the other- so funny!

Me too. Beautiful capture

awesome details!

[Milanie]

Fabulous capture and processing it in b&w was ideal. I've yet to catch one close though seen them on the other side of a lake.

[Julie Duncan]

Breathtaking! I, too, love loons and their lonesome, melancholy calls. And, they are such gorgeous birds, as your photo plainly shows! :)

Difficult to get a good loon photo..they are often so low in the water. This is really nice.

[Taffy]

Fantastic capture! I love listening to the loons call one another too. This is such a great closeup.

This is outstanding! I remember seeing these ducks at a Canadian Lake where we stayed but only got dull old photos! fav
