My wife & waited for a couple of hours in a horrific rain storm before the rain let up enough to jump in the canoe & get out for these shots. We got thoroughly soaked in the process, the light was terrible, but it was worth it to see these young Loons with mom.

Wonderful shots Scott.....I'm hoping that a few of these turn up at the local marshy area I go to sometime this winter.

You're tougher than me Scott! You captured some beautiful shots! I love seeing these pretty birds and with young ones is a big bonus. Well done!
