Common Loon
Observation details
When I arrived at 7:00 I spotted the loon in the middle of the upper lake. I thought it was a duck from a significant distance, but after zooming on a photo I recognized the pattern on its back and followed it along the bank. It dove often and when it spotted me it would dive for several minutes and come up 80-100 yards away. I followed quietly along the bank for about an hour and captured this picture.
