One needs to see the large version to appreciate the wonderful flight shot you got of this beautiful bird. Nice and sharp and perfecdtly exposed.  As always, Sandy, this is a real keeper.

Very nice flight shot.  Like the bird nice and low to the water and the nice background.

Nice going, Sandy.  Most of my loon shots were lousy and I completely missed the flight shots.  Just an excuse to go back.  This one looks nice and there's a good glimpse of the red throat.  Well done.

A nice capture of a fast bird, Sandy!  Good detail and the exposure was just right also.  The large version is required viewing for this shot!
