Mike

Super excellent shots!

What kind of kayak were you using, and how did you get so low in a kayak?

Mike, I loved the story about the outing, that is a pretty special morning to have in your memory, well earned and your respect and concern for the Loons and chicks is greatly respected.

As far as the images go...��..well let's just say those are your reward

I think #4 may be my favorite but I will decide later tonight when I see these on my big screen.
Excellent presentation, great perspective! And my vote

This is a perfect set, Mike! I haven't ever seen any better loon photos than what you've posted here. Congrats on your persistence and hard work paying off. You should be proud of these images, and you have my vote as well!
