I thought YOU were on the nest!

That's what their look brings to mind. Actually, this pair had been nesting for about a week when I found them cruising together this morning. Something must have happened to their eggs. The same thing happened to the pair on the adjacent lake. This is unusual but I suspect they will try again. I'm still hoping for baby pictures. Maybe the caption should be "Quit steppin' on the eggs!"

There isn't much composition here but comments are welcome.

Anyone out there who wants to photograph Loons is invited to join me here near St. Cloud, MN. I live by the lake and mingle with the Loons almost every day. The Loons are not afraid of boats so super-teles are not required. They often feed within 30 ft of my pontoon boat. Just e-mail me if you're interested.

Very cool shot Ken, I too live in the St.Cloud area, which lake are you referring to?

Thanks for the comment Joe. I shot you an e-mail on your question.

Nice shot. They look like a couple of bookends. I've never been able to get a good shot of Loons but I keep trying.

I'm planning a trip to MN and the U.P. this July. Thinking of photographing the bears at the Vince Shute Refuge and hopefully get into some loons in the U.P. on a wilderness canoe trip...

Nice shot.

This is great, Ken. Not only the way the two loons appear to be looking at one another, but also the added interest provided by the blue reflections in the water just behind the loons...their wake, perhaps?

This is a very balanced composition and works very well. The loons looking directly at each other almost add a horizontal reflection effect to the vertical reflections of the water. very compelling. I was thinking about a sugesstion cropping a bit from the top, but on second thought, I really like this comp as is - beautifully balanced in all directions!
