Common Loon

This image was taken from a kayak. The loon would dive under the water, and I would paddle in the direction the the bird last looked. I was able to get close enough behind it where I could see that it was banded. I was able to get a photo of some of the numbers on the band. Turns out this loon was banded in Wisconsin which is over 400 miles away.

OMG!!! What wonderful detail you've captured in this close-up Jason. Such handsome birds.

An excellent job, especially from a kayak!

These guys do travel long distances, don't they.
