Red-throated Loon
My thanks to Norman Kikuchi, a San Francisco bay area bird photographer, living in Santa Cruz. I met Norman in Nome, even though he lives 60 miles from me. Small world.
Norman put me onto a pair of red-throated loons, insisting that I wade a half-mile through the marsh in my knee-highs, while wearing a bag blind - I do whatever Norman suggests - he's an incredibly gifted photographer!
Norman is from the school of "equipment is meant to be used". I certainly used mine - I brought back half the tundra in my tripod. Thanks Norman - I didn't fall and dunk my equipment - and I got some close shots! :-)
Taken IN one of the many productive ponds just outside of Nome.
Full-frame crop!
