Common loons are a winter visitor to the area, but are usually back in the northern latitudes by this time of year. I saw this male in breeding plumage a couple of days ago on the river. He was surprisingly bold and not shy like you might think. I watched him fish for over an hour very close to where I stood, then watched it spend the next hour preening and napping. He was an impressive fisherman. I'll post a couple more photos over the next few days...
