Our house in Maine is on a little cove, which loons like because it provides some shelter from the weather, and there are plenty of fish. Sometimes the loons swim very close to shore and, if we are quiet, we can go out on the beach or the dock and get good close-up pictures.
Figure 1. Laura Caughlan made this stunning photograph of a common loon (Gavia immer) cruising across a sheltered cove on a Maine lake.
