A Loon creates a considerable commotion during take-off. The sunlight illuminating the loon and the flying spray against the dark background created what is one of my all-time favorite wildlife photographs.
Seldom have I witnessed Loons taking flight as they usually avoid intruders by quietly slipping under the water’s surface to reappear quite some distance away a couple of minutes later.

Salty: This is a wonderful photo. They do take the time to get off to the running start and I can only imagine the noise.
I like the light shinning on them.
Please tell Mrs. Salty thanks for stoppiing by my blog and yes, I will be scrapbooking the photo of the clothesline. Glad to see another scrapbooker out there.
What an amazing capture! Words fail me.
The sun highlighting the bird and water spray is just perfect. I can see why its one of your favorites. Such action, how exciting.
