Minnesota Loons

in #photofeed6 years ago

Loons are awesome, and crazy. Apparently they are very territorial, and only a couple (as in, a literal couple) can live on one lake at a time, otherwise they'd fight all the time (or kill each, not sure). The sound they make, echoing across the lake at dusk is simply just the best ever. If you've never heard it, youtube it. We were able to canoe up to this bad boy/girl, and snap a few shots.

Sort:  

Daggum, that is a sexy bird. Its feathers are so smooth and nice! Nice shot dude. Is this with your 70-200?

Yes suh. They're so cool and perfect for MN.

Just like Ethan Finlay.

It is impressive, I have never seen a species like this, with such beautiful colors, and on the photo it is fantastic, the sharpness is incredible ... by the way, what camera do you use?

Yeah, they're super cool yet defensive. I was kind of scared getting this close, and was ready to defend myself at a moments notice. I used a Canon 6d and Tamron 70-200 lens.

Check out this little video about loons. SO COOL.

Love them. We have lots on the lake up here.

They're so fricking cool.

Indeed
