Spent another great day with Mike photographing Loons on Sunday.
The company was great, the weather was perfect and the birds were putting on a show.
The only complaint? Dare I say the Loons were almost too darn close.
They were 3 feet off the edge of the boat and I almost couldn't fit them in the frame.
None of these are cropped and I was just using a 300mm.
I don't think I remember the last time I said "this bird is just to close"  :wink:  :lol:

Thanks for looking
Meghan









Show off...Hey Mom I can do that too?!!!!

Loons are so nice.  Makes me want to go up Sutton way and find some again.  I watched them up there a couple years back.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

They are alway 100mm too far.
