There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Great set. Both are excellent work. The pair of loons I have shot for two years were very slow in getting a nest in this year due to the high water around here. The small island of vegetation they use as a nest sight was submerged until about 2 weeks ago. It no more then appeared and they set to work and built their nest. She is sitting now. We have had a dry spell for the last week and the levels are going down here so that helps. Thanks so much for the great effort.

Very nice set.

Thank you both very much; I appreciate it. Upon further reflection, this loon seems to have built up quite a raft of vegetation which may keep her afloat and avoid disaster, for our lake levels continue to rise.

Gorgeous shots Al....most of my preferred areas for shooting our nesting red necked grebes here are under water as well. Good to know this pair at least found a spot to build.

Thanks, Lester. They are the state bird of Minnesota and we are proud of them.
