Common Loon (Gavia immer)
This is not the best Loon image you'll see posted here, but then I shot this today in Galveston, TX; just south of Houston. I like the early morning light I was lucky enough to get on this non-breeding adult. I realize the cheek patch is a tad hot, but I sacrificed that to get the detail in the eye and the plumage on the back. It was nuts, first going along the bank one way until it dove and, then, walking back the other direction when it pops up 90-100ft away. Luckily, I only did this for about 45 minutes before I could click off a few shots. As always, all comments welcome and thanks for looking.
