Species: Common Loon, Gavia immer | Location: Sturgeon Lake, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada
While out canoeing on my local lake early one morning I had come across this mom and baby loon. I had made the 1 hour paddle back to my cottage to get my camera gear and decided to head back to see if I could get a few pictures. This was the first time I had ever seen a baby loon and was totally amazed by it, I knew I had to capture a few shots to share with my family and friends. The first time I had seen them the baby was swimming on its own but when I had returned it was no where to be found. After getting within 100 feet of the loon I had noticed the baby was riding on the mothers back. What a priceless moment this was to experience.
About The Photographer
I am new to the Photography world and just finished a 3 year double diploma college course in order to better my skills. I had fallen in love with photography as a young child and have always had a thing for the outdoors so why not put the two together. My dream is to one day photograph Grizzly, Polar and Kermode Bears with the hopes of one day being published by a large reputable magazine. For the time being I just hope that my little hobby puts a smile on peoples faces and helps me make a few dollars to eventually reach my dream.Vote for this photo, and you’ll be entered for the chance to win a $500 Visa gift card!
