    This is fabulous!! The eye is so sharp!! Wonderful color and composition. How’d you get so close.

  • Vickie Emms replied

    thank you Pam, we have a boat, and of course the cameras MUST go along. Been trying all summer to get a good Loon photo. I am pleased at last!

  • Vickie Emms replied

    Oh, Vickie, sweetie!!! What an incredible shot!!!! Stunning, amazing creature … and there’s NOTHING “common” about this guy or your photography!!! Well done!!!!!

  • Vickie Emms replied

    Lois, thanks so very much. I really apperciate those kind words. And I never did understand why so many of our birds start with “common” either. I love the Loons.

    I am VERY envious! I don’t have any loon shots at all, which seems a strange absentee for a fisherman and outdoor nut. You caught a beauty here!

    Yes, I am a fisherwoman and boater too, that’s how I get so close. I have always loved the Loon and got my shots this summer. Thanks for your nice comments.
