Minnesota state Bird. This one I call Kissing Loons

[wildlife minnesota]

I have been photographing these Loons for 4 years now and some time they like to show off. It took over 400 photographs to get these loons lined up and a hold day.

Stunning bird and great catch.  I've only seen or heard these birds a few times in the wild.  I love the sound of them.

Nice catch, I like the gleam in the eyes.  What kind of glass are you shooting with?

[wildlife minnesota]

I use a Canon zoom lens EF 70x300 mm 1:4-5.6 is USM Image Stabilizer ultrasonic
Thank you on your comments.

Yeah, the Canon boys outnumber the Nikon guys.  Must mean its better glass.
