Sometimes lonely as a Loon

[michaelboy]

This lake has many interesting birds: Canada Geese, Ducks, Ospreys, Blue Herons, Kingfishers, Bank Swallows, Bald Eagles, Red-Tailed Hawks, but my very favorite are the Loons. They kind of half-sink in the water so that you usually can only see their necks with that characteristic head/beak tilt. They dive under the water for up to a few minutes at a time and are basically loners, except they do gather occasionally..as they have here at "The Long Branch Saloon"

I have only ever seen loons on the sea. I thought them to be ocean birds.
