Common loon in Quilcene Bay, Quilcene, Olympic Peninsula, Washington.

Canon 400D, 100-400mm IS telephoto at 400 mm, 1/320 at f/6.3, ISO 200.

Common loons gather in larger numbers in Quilcene Bay than they seem to do in most places throughout their range. The one in this photo is part of a group that concentrate their activities around the Herb Beck Marina and a commercial oyster facility near the head of the bay at low tide.
