Captain Doug and I were on the lake, checking bald eagle nests and enjoying the beautiful autumn day. We came upon a small flock of common loons who were also enjoying the warmth. Loons are winter visitors here and their lovely calls can be heard in the early mornings and late evenings. Captain Doug tried to ease in front of the loons so I could get some face shots, but, the loons easily grouped, turned direction and then lined out and left us behind. They are fast swimmers and they left me and the little iPhone behind a couple of times too!

😊Me too…especially their songs.
One of the great pleasures I had when we were in Maine a few years ago was staying near a lake and hearing and seeing the loons on the lake. I’m grateful for your email particularly because it reminds me of seeing those Maine loons. It’s a pleasure to learn that they’re winter visitors here!
