Mississippi River/Lake, Ontario

The Series "ONE HOUR IN THE LIFE OF A ONE-DAY OLD COMMON LOON CHICK" continued from yesterday. (See previous two postings for description, notes and the initial images, 1a, 1b, 1 & 2....7).

Image 9: Once back on board, it’s time to do some grooming.


Image 10: “Perhaps I should straighten out Mom/Dad’s feathers a minute too”


Image 11: “Now, I’ll MOON that photographer before embarking on………….”


Image 12: “…………. an other cruise up the Mississippi.”

Such magnificent birds, birds of the north I always think. A lovely shot of this one.
