Touching *

Bass Lake, MN, USA

Common Loons sharing a moment. Loons are known for their soliloquy of cries, wails, and yodels; their eerie, echoing calls are a distinctive feature of Minnesota’s northern lakes. Approximately 12,000 of this state bird make their summer homes here.

The ability to photograph loons in MN is one of the reasons I wanted to get a DSLR but I think I need a great lens like yours before I'll ever get a picture as nice as this. Great shot! :-) CJ
