Nice shots John! Yes, it is sad the number of surviving chicks this year. The numbers decrease each year unfortunately. Glad to see yours!

Hey John...Never made it over to the lake this year, but heard it was a rough year. You got a great shot of this chick though!
How long do the loons stick around for before heading out?

Hi Jim,
The adult Loons on Massabesic will be around until the end of October through mid November depending on weather. The juveniles leave a week or two after the adults.
A few more photos from that shoot.

Momma got too close!

Ooh! Love the next shots also, especially the close-up of Momma!! That's really nice with the texture on the head/neck and of course, those red eyes... Thanks for sharing!

Some great shots John. Especially like the first shot with the water drops on the head and the fish in the mouth
