p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Common Loon at Little Pine Lake in Cross Lake, Minnesota (5)


Loons were everywhere in the Whitefish Chain this weekend. Here are a few. Cropping was difficult because of the pontoon (movement) and the fact that they were too close for the 500. Sometimes surfacing a few feet away.

Great shots of my favorite bird to photograph. The first is my favorite. I don't know if there is any space available, but a few of them appear to need a little rotation to be completely level.

Nice work Mike on a subject I have way too few of. The first and last are my picks although I think the first could use more space around the bird

Thank you noticing that. I will give it a try.

They were everywhere this past weekend. Even popping up a few feet from the dock.

I agree. They just kept coming up too close. I wish some waterfowl would do the same sometime.

Yes they are and they were doing a lot of swimming and head bowing which was fun to watch.

A beautiful species, Mike, and what a great opportunity to see and capture them so close. I think the first shot has the most potential (colors, pose); in addition to more space, the breast looks a little hot. TFS. ~Greg

Yes, I agree that the whites got a little blown out in that one.
