Not a baby anymore
One of two juvenile loons snuggles up to it's mother. Not as cute as younger loon chicks but you can see this young bird going through it first moulting. The baby down is fast disappearing and you can see the underlying feathers that will soon allow this bird to begin its fall migration.
This full frame photograph was taken at Algonquin Park's Lake Opeongo on a heavily overcaste day.
