Todays POD, the camp sight with the hammock is my camp sight on Sturgeon Lake.

That site looks familiar. Is that the kinda high one on the north shore near Scripture? You could put a huge tent photo left.


That camp sight is on the North shore West of Scripture Island. Its where the North shore almost touched the long skinny island that runs East and West.

I think I like the loon shot even more than the eagle shot.  The baldy is beautiful, but nothing conjures the feeling of being 'up north' like the loonies!  Cool

Great loon shot, Ken.  I'm wondering what part of the summer or fall you took it in.  I notice a little whitening around the chin of the loon and am thinking that is the beginning of fall molt into nonbreeding plumage, which I saw a fair amount of this September.  But maybe I'm wrong and it's just normal breeding plumage.  Do you remember when you took the pic?

There were actually. I think I could have done a week of good eagle shots but I decided to break them up. I didn't plan on using this loon shot though, hard to tell what's going on but after HoHo's post I looked for an EXIF date using this one. I think I see a tail going down too and what looks like water droplets flying about so that became a good reason to display it today. They are at the size that was sent so I have no extra details to consider.

FWIW - I do have a few left in the queue but (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

HoHo, et.al.,
Loon shots were taken the 1st week in July, 2009. We were heading from North Bay to Burke Lake on our way out, and these shots were taken just before the portage leading out of North Bay. Early in the morning; pair of loons. My daughter-in-law just zoomed in on this guy and probably took 30 pics with her digital, and caught this guy preening and stretching. Several of the frames turned out really nice.
I like the eagle pics because they are such majestic birds, but these loon pics are my  favorites. Loons are synonymous with the northwoods, at least for me. And when they open up and preen like this, they're absolutely stunning.
Glad you're enjoying.
Regards,
Ken

1/23 sure was a nice eagle shot.  How do you get that kind of clarity on a moving target zoomed from distance?  I take pictures, but clearly I'm not a photographer!
Thanks again for that series.  -tom
