p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Common Loon in Flight in Northern Minnesota on July 10, 2015.


Common Loon in Flight in Northern Minnesota on July 10, 2015. My friend on the boat alerted me to the sound of the Common Loon running, flapping and getting ready to take off. I was able to snap a few shots, although I missed quite a few as well.

The first is a beauty Mike. You might want to darken the strip pointing to the bird in the second. I'm also fond of the last.

You're driving me "loon-ey" with all these great shots, Mike! The first one is really something special - a real beauty to look at!

So they do fly! First time I've seen a loon flight shot here. Nicely done.

Great stuff to get these guys IF !!! Not easy my friend. I didn't do so well on my recent outing!
#1 is great and #4 is also a fine angle!

Mike , it's not very often that we see loon flight shots. I especially like number 4 , it emphasizes the shape and size of the heavy body and the closeness to the water. Alan

Mike, nice set. I have never seen one in flight. Really like #4. Looks like it will be quite warm when I make it up that way this weekend. Bummer!

Sweet set Mike #4 gets my nod a wonderful low perspective along with the fact it is coming at us with a full wing spread it does not get much better
