A Family of Loons
Yesterday, Beth was working and I was not. After I joined her for her lunch break, I swiped her car, loaded it up with my kayak and gear, and went out to Grafton Pond. I spent about an hour and a quarter on the water. As I was heading back to shore, I came across a family of two adult loons and one baby:
My photographic skills are not quite brilliant, but I'm happy enough with these shots that I'm willing to share them.
I believe these are the first loons I've ever seen in the wild. Awfully pretty birds, they are.

Glad to see you two are into Kayaking. I as well have taken up the sport. There are almost an infinite number of waterways to navigate around the OBX so next time you come down for a visit, you must bring your Kayaks along. The pics of loons are great. I encountered my first loon a couple of years ago. Seems there a frequest visitor to the banks. They don't walk, so when they are really tired they "beach" themselves. Town Hall/the Police Station gets several calls a year from worried tourists who think the birds are injured when in fact they're just really tired! They are very cool birds.
