Loons are marvelous and beautiful birds. There are only about 270 pairs in New Hampshire, with 14 or 15 pairs on Squam Lake, where my family is spending the week.
As soon as I arrived yesterday, I went down to the lake behind our cottage to see if any loons were there. This handsome loon and its partner were swimming and diving not far from my dock.
A loon checked me out. It decided I was not a threat. (I know enough to give them a wide berth, but some other people here crowd them too closely.) We heard the loons' wails at night before going to sleep and in the morning shortly after rising. Click here to hear the four typical loon calls.
Today starts this blog's 16th year. Many bloggers have shut their blogs down or migrated to other kinds of domains. I post photos occasionally on Instagram and Facebook, but I find that this blog makes me go outside and look for photography subjects, so I continue. Thank you to those who look at it.
