Yep, the common loon in winter plumage. Well captured. I love the low angle a lot. I could listen to these birds all day with their beautiful call. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year.

thanks harvey g

this bird is stuck inland at the moment

happy new year

Great shots

nice look darrell, both very nice, to hard to pick one over the other

I was trying to wait out a pair of eagles a couple of weeks ago and one of these was diving in front of me and I couldn't believe the ground they cover while they are under water. I gave up on the eagles and started stalking the loon and trying to get to a good position while he was down but never got a really good shot of him. Nice job on these.
