sugarzebra Cream of the Crop  More info | Aug 10, 2010 07:27 | #1 My wife & I have spent a lot of time this summer shooting Loons. We are fortunate to have a pair on our lake, plus we often drive about 45 km from our cottage in Muskoka to Algonquin Park where there are many loons. These were taken in Algonquin.    All taken from a canoe, hand held with 500/4 Scott

I've never seen one myself! Thanks Steve, I hope you get to see one! They are much larger than you think (adults up to three feet long with 4-5' wing spans). dbriz wrote in post #10694341 These are just great Scott...

They live on the water 24/7 except for the 3-4 weeks they incubate the eggs. Scott

You are fortunate to have them, but you know how to get the shot when opportunity knocks. I was hoping to see some of these beautiful birds while touring the north shore of Superior. We did see a couple, too far out for photos. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1
