This was taken in the first weeks of this chicks birth. It was amazing seeing the interaction of the family during this critical time for both chicks.

Thanks for looking.

Adorable! Were you in a boat for this, or in a blind, etc? The loons look very comfortable with your presence.

These are wonderful shots Marc.....technically excellent but even better in conveying the special bond and the emotion between the two. Perfect.
