The Loons are back!
Ice out finally happened in central Minnesota! And we get excited about our Loons. Again I have two pairs of Common Loons to photograph on the connected lakes I live on. This photo is from my first 2008 pontoon boat voyage. More to come.

Canon 40D
300mm f4L w/1.4X TC
f5.6, 1/400, ISO100

Ken,
That's great news! I look foreward to seeing more of your photos as it won't be long and the little ones will be out on your lake. Keep up the great work :toast: :wavey:

I like the wing spread shot. Looks like the loon is happy to be back too. They look like an interesting bird to work with.

Very nice shot, Ken. He's definitely celebrating spring.
