While on a recent Day in the Field workshop with Charles Glatzer, I had my first opportunity to photograph these birds, along with a lone loon (No -- not Chas!). It was great fun as the birds were fairly cooperative. Here at home it is rare to see these birds, and when I do, they fly off as soon as I approach.

Lovely bird and great exposure, nice light and great detail, a lower angle and a little head turn could have turned this into an even better image, wonderful as is!! Congrats!! 8)

Nice image! I agree with Alex, but will also add that it shows a tad dark on my monitor. The water is outstanding!

Thanks for the suggestion, Greg. I've adjusted the image to lighten it a bit. How's it look now?
