MAP3941 Loons—Sunset Tango 5
Mated pair of common loons enjoy a "date night out" without the kids. The two juveniles moved further down the lake fishing. This display of courtship well into the breeding season strengthens the bonds of the pair and sends a signal that this is their territory. This courting, which included lots of circling and looking into each other's red eyes, lasted for about 40 minutes (that I witnessed). It was a rare treat to capture at sunset!
I am truly grateful for all the kind comments and feedback on this image—thank you!
