Common Loon, Unakwik Inlet, Prince William Sound. Canon 1D Mark IV, 500mm w/1.4
Sunny skies in Prince William Sound have made the Spring Birding and Wildlife photography voyage on Discovery Voyages a great experience. So far we have seen all four species of the Loon. The common, the yellow-billed, the red-throated and the pacific. This common loon however, has been the lone bird that permitted some relatively close photography work. Such a beautiful bird. I shot it from a moving skiff with a 1D Mark IV, a 500mm and teleconverter. It is not the easiest thing to do but with a few attempts, which are often short periods, I was able to get some sharp ones in morning light.
Great shot Patrick

Patrick…I loved looking at all your shots from the Discovery. This one is my favorite. I will send you the waterfall shot in a bit. Liz
Thanks Liz,
That was a great morning watching the Loon. Actually, there were many great mornings on that trip. Thanks for the waterfall shot, it came through fine. A pleasure to travel with you and Joe.
Thanks Emlyn
