Hi all

Here are a few shots of Great Northern Divers (Common Loons). One of my favorite bird species. Please feel free to comment (C&C).

First class shots Sindri, absolutely stunning! The whole sequence of shots is breathtaking, I have never seen the color and hues in the loon's head as beautiful... awesome shooting.
