I have had my kayak for about a month and feel comfortably with my camera in it. I have to rotate many shots when I open them in PS, but there is no room for a tripod. I have been using a 70-200 lens with vr +a 1.4 extender.
Here is one from earlier this week.

More in the series of loons can be seen at:

Unfortunately, the time of day was not the best and I had many blown highlights.

Allan.......

I followed the link to look at all the images. I especially like the three of the adult on the nest.
Good stuff!

Nice shots. Unfortunately it seems you must have been way to close to the nest. The loon on the nest is displaying an extremely agitated posture and is ready to bolt the nest. Loons are under a lot of pressure from humans and that's the main reason I don't photograph them.
