Loons in Winter
I love loons. I love loons so much that I took about 20 pictures of this one, not realizing till later that he hadn't moved throughout.
Loons must be pretty mellow. A merganser would have struck 20 poses in the same amount of time.
Loons in winter plumage aren't as gorgeous as when they wear their black and white checkerboard colors, but I still am crazy (as a loon) for loons!
Pete took the last loon photos from the car as we were heading home. In this photo, the loon looks like he's smiling!
He looks pretty cheery here. too - despite the bitter cold.

I like loons too.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I watched 4 common loons along the bridge to Duxbury beach diving for crabs as the tide was going out. What an amazing tide yesterday.
