Loon Chick at feeding time.
:cool: I was lucky enough to be on Lake Massabesic July 3 a few hours after this chick hatched and was ready to be fed.
Taken from my kayak.

Truly exceptional work. I think my favorite part about this is that you can see the species of fish, and I wouldn't expect a loon to be all about pickerel! Amazing! :toast:

Loons will probably always be my favorite subject.
