Liebe Polly (R.I.P.) ist immer bei uns in Gedanken /
Dear Polly (R.I.P.) is always with us in thoughts
Took a canoe trip with a friend in search of a loon family. Found the family much sooner than we anticipated (just after our launch) and had to move on to avoid stressing them. Came back in later (to return to our launch point), and were able to see the chick as we passed by. Still managed some great shots.
Réalisé le 15 juin 2020 près du quai de L'Isle-Verte, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Québec.

Immer noch ein betörender Anblick und einfach nur schön: Leuchtend rote wilde Mohnblüten in den Weinbergen und Rebhängen im Kaiserstuhl verzaubern uns derzeit.

Thanks so much to all who choose to look at and comment on my images. It's very much appreciated.
Shooting into the sun presented the problem of not knowing exactly what I'd capture, but I thought I'd get some good shots. I was pleased that I got a number of good sunstars (in other posts) and general portraits including this one.
Here, I like the dark background with the subtle glow behind the bird's head.
I shot this handheld at 500mm from a kayak in calm water.

Look close and you will spot the webbed foot of this Common Loon. It is resting in its side under the wing.

Common Loons also called Northern Divers are an excellent indicators of water quality as they require crystal-clear lakes (which makes it easier for them to see prey underwater) with abundant populations of small fish. -Cornell

MYANMAR,Burma , am Rande des Inle-Sees, uriger buddhistischer Pagodenwald mit Grabmal-Stupas von Indein (Inthein,In-Dein).
Der Pagodenwald liegt westlich des Inle-Sees und ist über einen Kanal erreichbar. Die ältesten Grab-Stupas dieses Friedhofs stammen aus dem 17. Jahrhundert,[1] aber auch heute noch werden neue Stupas gebaut. Immer mehr alte Monumente sind inzwischen renoviert, und so hat sich ein buntes Gemisch aus Gold, Stuck und nacktem, manchmal bewachsenem Backstein entwickelt.
MYANMAR, Burma, on the edge of Inle Lake, rustic Buddhist pagoda forest with tomb stupas from Indein (Inthein,In-Dein).
The pagoda forest is west of Inle Lake and can be reached via a canal. The oldest tomb stupas in this cemetery date back to the 17th century[1] but new stupas are still being built today. More and more old monuments have now been renovated, resulting in a colorful mix of gold, stucco and bare, sometimes overgrown brick.

It's been reported that loons strike this pose when defending against bald eagles, and perhaps other preditors that come from above. A story in the state of Maine in the northeastern USA, states that a loon in this position impaled and killed a bald eagle while defending against an attack.
That said, loons also display many poses in their courtship to impress their mates. Might this also be one of those poses? I don't know. Two bald eagles also were active on the lake while I was there. Surely the loons were aware of the eagles.

Eurasische Eichhörnchen (Sciurus vulgaris)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasisches_Eichh%C3%B6rnchen
Das Eurasische Eichhörnchen (Sciurus vulgaris), häufig nur als Eichhörnchen bekannt, ist ein Nagetier aus der Familie der Hörnchen (Sciuridae). Es ist der einzige natürlich in Mitteleuropa vorkommende Vertreter aus der Gattung der Eichhörnchen und wird zur Unterscheidung von anderen Arten wie dem Kaukasischen Eichhörnchen und dem in Europa eingebürgerten Grauhörnchen auch als Europäisches Eichhörnchen bezeichnet.
Regionale Bezeichnungen des Tieres sind Eichkätzchen, Eichkatz(er)l, Eichkater, überdies – umgesetzt aus der jeweiligen Mundartform – Eicher(li) (Schweiz), Eichhase (Österreich), Baumfuchs (Hessen), Konradchen (Nassau), Eichhalm (Württemberg) sowie niederdeutsch Katteker (Katzeicher) und Ekenaape (Eichenaffe). Zur nicht restlos geklärten Wortherkunft siehe Artikel Eichhörnchen.
Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_squirrel
The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Eurasia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent.
In Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising[3] due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.
Immer hungrig * always hungry
Flügge Rauchschwalben werden noch zwei Wochen weiter außerhalb des Nestes durch die Altvögel mit Insekten versorgt.
Fledged barn swallows continue to be supplied with insects by the adults outside the nest for another two weeks.

Immer wieder beeindruckend und wunderschön für mich. Ein Spaziergang durch den Hamburger Hafen.
Always impressive and beautiful for me. A walk through the port of Hamburg.
This Great Northern Diver, a welcome winter visitor, has been entertaining birders this week at Farmoor Reservoir in Oxfordshire. The largest of the UK's divers, it has a bigger, heavier head and bill than its commoner relatives. It is largely a winter visitor to our shores although some non-breeding birds stay off northern coasts in the summer.
This Common Loon was enjoying the morning sun.
This was taken near Cochrane, Alberta, Canada

Pennan in the north of Scotland is put out constantly to the tides of the sea. In my visit in early autumn it meant the weather still humanly, the sea remained relatively quiet. I ask myself how it looks fine here if sometimes a storm gathers.....
You to all good light and a nice week-end
Immer den Gezeiten ausgesetzt
Pennan im Norden Schottlands ist ständig den Gezeiten des Meeres ausgesetzt. Bei meinem Besuch im Frühherbst meinte es das Wetter noch human, die See blieb verhältnismäßig ruhig. Ich frage mich, wie es hier wohl aussieht wenn mal ein Sturm aufzieht.....
Euch allen gutes Licht und ein schönes Wochenende
