These birds are so gorgeous with their colour combination of blacks, greens, blues, and whites, and red eyes of course.

It was a real treat to photograph these birds in our local pond at a reasonable distance while these Loons were waiting for the lakes to thaw. At least 29 Loons were observed. In one corner of the lake, I saw at least six at close proximity to each other, and once in awhile, they would appear out of the water right next to the shore.

While trying to sleep, this Loon eventually floated its way toward the shoreline of the lake. While it didn't do any wings-flapping or stretching, I was happy to get some closeups of this Loon. More photos to come shortly. Enjoy!
