Loons

Amazing only a few months ago Loons were extremely territorial. Today one mature and four immature Loons gathered together while another mature Loon with one immature loon where in close proximity.
 Many birds seen today. Cormorants , Eagle, Coopers Hawks and seven Loons
Hiked most of the morning in hopes of finding a Bull Moose. No luck today !

Named This Moose Snarly !

The title page picture above was one of the last pictures taken for the morning. Both moose appear to be young . The Bull Moose has one ugly set of antlers ! Hence I named him Snarly.
Sneaking into the back side of a NE swamp offered pics of this young cow feeding. No fooling her. She has me pegged!
This young bull was making a lot of noise wading and feeding. He frequently turned looking for his sweetheart.
A few more step and Snarly turned around and headed back towards the cow.

It made for a pretty eventful morning!
