Wow, this is gorgeous. I have seen the loon on our one dollar coins, but never up close.

Nice shot. The Loch Ness Loon is very rare, very rare indeed. No disputing it now. ;)

Not only my favorite bird (I usually give that to the cedar waxwing) but my favorite animal. Its name and its call is the symbol of wild, free places. Nice shot Greg.

From the thumbnail, I thought it was Nessie! Great shot. They don't make it this far south!

Not bad Greg, they aren't the easiest duck to get a picture of...
