Great catch, Gary!Gary Jacobson April 27, 2004
Thanks Bob!It was quite a day. I took about 120 images over a 45 minute period. I was able to approach within 12 feet at one point, I even had to back off my 400mm lens to fit them in the viewfinder. Thanks again.

Hey Jake! Another one... maybe there are more? Beautiful capture of these loons... a little while back I tried my hand at some mallards, and that was a disaster. (: I'm sure these are even more difficult... congratulations on your finalist!!Nancy

Thanks Nancy,I happened to be on a lake fishing and noticed the amazing light and a pair of loons across the bay. Much to my delight I noticed the baby loons as I approached closer. It took a very quiet trolling motor to move in close enough to capture this image without scaring-off the loons. Thank you for your kind compliments.
Warmest Regards,

Thanks for the compliments, Gary. This one just jumped off the page for me. Keep up the great work, Gary. :-) #546463Dee E. Strellner April 29, 2006
Great capture! How I missed them while I was away from home. Pity sound isn't available so that everyone could also hear them. Having lived in Mn most of my life loons are a Mn standard as much as birch trees are. Their call is haunting in quality esp if the fog is rising from the lake.
