Thanks for your visits! They are greatly appreciated!

I was lucky enough to have a pretty close encounter with a family of Loons while canoeing Emerald Lake in Canada's Yoho National Park. An amazing place and an amazing animal!

Common Loon

Waterfowl on the Bow River in Carburn Park. There is always something to see there. Sometimes they are close enough to shore for decent photos while other times they are so distant.

Thanks for your visits and comments. They are greatly appreciated!

Common Dolphins are usually uncommon in Monterey Bay but this is an El Niño year with warmer waters than usual, and there are thousands of them further north than usual. This is the rarer oceanic form that used to be known as Long-beaked Common Dolphin but DNA studies of the various populations have shown that they are not a genetically distinct species, but that each long-beaked population is most closely related to their nearest population of Short-beaked Common Dolphins. I thought that the head of this leaping Dolphin stood out well against the splash of a recently-dived Dolphin.

Older shot of a Common Loon napping. Figured my photo stream needed a bit of color added to it. ;-)
