    Help with loon ID - Sonoma County, CA, USA

    Hi all, I have been going back and forth on these loons I saw from shore in Bodega Bay, CA a couple of weeks ago (June 28). There were two groups of loons, both a few hundred yards out, one single loon, and then a group of 5 in a different spot. I think they are of two different species, but...

    Please identify this loon behavior

    Captured this video last year: 2022 06 28 while paddling on the Rideau River, Ottawa, Ontario.

Would very much appreciate if someone can identify this kind...

    It was very misty light with fog in the tree tops. The lake was almost glass smooth. As I set up my tripod, the Loon quickly moved further away. It was a long reach for my 150-600, but I took a shot anyway. The surprise was the amount of detail the lens could see and capture. This is as close...
