Jordan Lake: I don’t often get to see the beginning of the breeding plumage change in the common loon as usually these beautiful birds have all headed north by now. The loon’s plumage patterns are startling and, yet, its face is wistful. I watched it for a moment, thinking about changes in all of our lives. May you have a peaceful night and dream with the loon who is probably hundreds of miles north by now.
peace and grace, Doc Ellen

That is a fantastic picture! The alignment of the waves and the bird is just stunning!
Thank you!
Great photograph!
I absolutely love loons and make a trip every summer to the Adirondacks to try and get them with chicks.
