A Loon, finished with fishing for the moment flaps its wings
I love watching the loons whenever I am on the lake. Most times they will be calmly sitting on the water closely observing their surroundings. Occasionally I have observed them intent upon fishing and at these times I can usually approach rather closely with the boat. This was the case on this day as the loon had located a large school of small fish and had been busily engaged while I made my approach.
After the school of fish disappeared, this Loon practically stood erect on the water shaking the water from its feathers. I like this shot not only for the subject but also the colors of the reflections on the water.

I agree about the colouring in the water, but I am drawn to the markings on the Loon also.. a great picture.
Is this a new header of have I not been paying attension? I like it either way.. :O)
Salty: What a great show the Loon is putting on. I wish they came to our lake but they seem to enjoy the mountains aroud them. I love to hear the sound of the Loon which I have only heard in movies or on TV. I really enjoyed the sound in "On Golden Pond".
Beautiful shot. I also like the bumble bee photo.
probably on of my favorite shots so far. beautiful! thanks for sharing salty!
Good one Dad.
I like everything about it too Salty. The reflective colors just enhance the composition. I would love to see a Loon sometime myself. It looks like a beautiful bird.
Tom, correct you are! The header is a new osprey capture for just this past Saturday.
Didn't know we had loons in PA....
