Had a chance to photograph a pair of loons along the North shore of Lake Superior in Ontario this summer. Such a cool bird with a call that makes the north woods famous.
Hope you enjoy.

Great photos.

My favorite water bird. Sadly here on Lake Erie we don't see them like we used to. Seems as if cormorants have taken there niche over completely
Thanks for sharing

The loons remind me of the movie “on golden pond”!

Lovely birds . They are on the big river by me and make all their neat calls every spring. One of the most beautiful birds to see and hear. Thank you for sharing.

Always loved hearing them.
Made me feel like I was part of nature, and one with the world!
Nothing else seemed to matter.

Beautiful birds, but can be a real pest if you're fishing with live minnows.


My new car has a button for pretty much everything. Even has one that says rear wiper. Still too afraid to try that one.

Loons appear on the NC Outer Banks in March. On of the last birds to leave for the northern grounds.
