The Moment After the Click | Common Loon

The Moment After the Click | Common Loon  At Ox Bow Bend near the Grand Tetons, clear early morning light, calm winds, and the flat waters of the Snake River helped make this image special.  The long 400mm lens also helped.  Even though, I had to wait quite a while for this Loon to swim closer to me as I waited at river’s edge.  The river was quiet as the Loon made its way up river towards me.  Although I was partially hidden behind a mound of dirt, it probably knew I was there.  It did not seem to mind and almost seemed to give me a few poses. Clicks!  After the clicks, I just sat there and watched as the Loon swam peaceful by.  For the whole story with all images, see The Moment After the Click | a 7 Image Story.
