Nicht immer sind Entscheidungen einfach.
In diesem Jahr z.B. bin ich in 2 "52 Wochen" Gruppen aktiv. In einer als Moderator, in der anderen als Mitglied.
Um die "eigene" Gruppe für mich spannender zu gestalten versuche ich immer beide Wochenthemen miteinander zu kombinieren, was bisher auch immer klappte.
Auch ich habe mich entscheiden müssen, jedoch entschied ich mich nicht für A oder B, sondern ich fand einen kreativen Kompromiss.
Thema 1: Colorkey

Wie immer endete die 1. Mai Demonstration im Landschaftspark Nord. Mit dem Hinweis: Ein Landschaftspark reicht, man will nicht ganz Thyssen-Krupp in einen LaPa II verwandeln müssen.
As always, the 1st May demonstration ended in the Landschaftspark Nord. With the message: One park is enough, you don't want to have to turn the whole of Thyssen-Krupp into a LaPa II.
Common Loon (Gavia immer) observed swimming and feeding at Rock Cut State Park during spring migration 2021 in Winnebago County, Illinois.
Immer noch eine halbe Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang und doch ist bereits so viel Energie vorhanden, die die morgendliche Landschaft in den schönsten Farben erstrahlen lässt. Bis zu meinen Füssen, die fest auf dem Felsen stehen...
Still half an hour before sunrise, and yet there is already so much energy present, illuminating the morning landscape in the most beautiful colors. Reaching all the way to my feet, firmly planted on the rock...
Common Loon (Gavia immer) pair exchanging soft hoots in the quiet shadows of a sheltered bay. They may have been searching for a nest site but it would be a very late start in the season for raising a family. According to the campground host, the second loon only arrived to the lake about a week prior. Taken in Vilas County, Wisconsin on July 10, 2015.

Physical characteristics
The Common Loon in summer is very striking with its black-and-white checkered back, glossy black head, white belly and wing lining, and characteristic white necklace around the throat. All loons have greyish feathers in the winter, and immature birds tend to resemble adult birds in winter plumage. The white feathers of the belly and wing linings are present year-round.
Loons' habit of swimming low in the water helps to distinguish them from other waterbirds, such as ducks and geese. Loons most resemble the grebes, but can be identified by their larger size, thicker necks, and longer bills. In flight, loons can be recognized by their humpbacked profile, with head and neck held low and feet pressed back towards the body and projecting beyond the tail.
Males and females look the same, although males are generally larger. Adults are large-bodied, weighing from 2.7 to over 6.3 kg and measuring almost a metre from bill tip to outstretched feet. The bill is quite large, averaging 75 mm in length, and is black in colour throughout the year.
The skeleton and muscular system are designed for swimming and diving. Loons are streamlined. Their legs are placed far back on their body, allowing for excellent movement in water but making them ungainly on land. The head can be held directly in line with the neck during diving to reduce drag, and the legs have powerful muscles for swimming.
Habitat
Hunting, feeding, resting, preening, and caring for young are the loon's main activities. The bird spends long rest periods motionless on the water. It may rouse itself to stretch a leg or wing at intervals, occasionally comically waggling a foot. When swimming on top of the water it will sit erect with neck slightly curved. The loon will peer underwater, moving its head from side to side to locate prey. It then aims and dives quickly. It will stay underwater for almost a minute and can dive to depths of 80 m. During the dive, feathers are compressed and air is forced from between the feathers and from the air sacs in the body. Loss of air from the air sacs also allows the loon to quietly sink below the water surface to avoid danger.
Adult loons may fly to different lakes to feed. The adaptations that make loons such efficient divers also make them heavy and slow to take wing.
Common Loons spend most of the time on water and have to pull themselves onto land to nest. They generally move one foot at a time to walk, shuffling along with their breast close to the ground. The loon returns to the water by sliding in along its breast and belly. At night, loons sleep over deeper water, away from land for protection from predators.
Other details
This bird inhabits the lakes of the boreal regions of North America, Greenland and Island, moving to coastal waters in winter. The population of Greenland and Island - altogether about 3500-4000 birds - is wintering along the British and Norwegian coasts. Small numbers of individuals reach the coasts from Denmark to Portugal
Feeding
Loons are predators; their diet in summer consists of fish, crayfish, frogs, snails, salamanders, and leeches. Adult loons prefer fish to other food, and seem to favour perch, suckers, catfish, sunfish, smelt, and minnows.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 10,000,000 km². It has a large global population estimated to be 580,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2002). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Loons arrive in pairs on northern lakes in the spring as soon as the ice thaws. They are solitary nesters. Small lakes, generally those between 5 and 50 ha, can accommodate one pair of loons. Larger lakes may have more than one pair of breeding loons, with each pair occupying a bay or section of the lake. Until recently, loons were thought to mate for life. Banding studies have shown that loons will sometimes switch mates after a failed nesting attempt, even between nestings in the same season. Courtship and mating are a quiet time, with the pair swimming and making short dives together. Eventually the male leads the female to a suitable spot on land for mating. Nest building then begins.
Loons build their nests close to the water, with the best sites being completely surrounded by water, such as on an island, muskrat house, half-submerged log, or sedge mat-a clump of grass-like water plants. Generally the birds can slip directly from the nest to water. The same sites are often used from year to year. Loons will use whatever materials are on hand to build their nests. Researchers have found tree needles, leaves, grass, moss, and other vegetation under loon eggs. If material is not handy, loons will lay their eggs directly on the mud or rock. Sometimes clumps of mud and vegetation are collected from the lake bottom to build the nest. Both the male and female help in nest building and with incubation, or warming the eggs, which lasts until hatching, usually 26 to 31 days. If the eggs are lost, the pair may renest, often in the same general location.
Usually two eggs are laid in June, and towards the end of the month loon chicks covered in brown-black down appear on the water. Loon chicks can swim right away, but spend some time on their parents' backs to rest, conserve heat, and avoid predators such as large carnivorous fish, snapping turtles, gulls, eagles, and crows. After their first day or two in the water, the chicks do not return to the nest.
Chicks are fed exclusively by their parents for the first few weeks of life, and up until eight weeks of age the adults are with them most of the time, providing most food. After this time the chicks begin to dive for some of their own food and by 11 or 12 weeks of age, the chicks are providing almost all of their own food and may be able to fly. Chicks are fed small food items early in their life including snails, small fish, crayfish, minnows, and some aquatic vegetation. As they grow, they require more protein, and usually are fed more fish, if available. At migration time, the young are able to look after themselves, and the adults generally leave first, with young following soon after.
Sometimes loons gather into small groups in the summer. In September, group feeding is quite common as loons gather on larger lakes while migrating. Loons are also usually found in groups on the wintering grounds. The life expectancy of the loon may be 15 to 30 years.
Migration
From Iceland and Greenland main departures, singly or in small parties, September-October, though some winter southern coasts. Minority reach winter quarters (e.g. Scotland) from mid-August, probably mainly immatures or failed breeders. Spring return early May to mid-June according to latitude and weather, remaining in bays and fjords until thaw of inland ice. Pre-breeders summer chiefly in northern coastal waters, some regularly in Shetland, but seldom North Sea.
Gavia immer
One of several adults observed on a blustery day in Ann Arbor, Michigan. These emblems of the northwoods migrate through at this time of year, before nesting in northern Michigan's inland lakes throughout the summer months.
A very large bird with a wingspan of 120-150 cm and very difficult too photograph. I have only seen 3 pairs and they tend to swim around the middle of large lakes. I have managed to photograph this bird once so far this year.
Iceland is the only breeding site in the eastern Atlantic but does winter around the coast of the British Isles.

Das 107 ha umfassende Ensemble der Blankenburger Schlossgärten mit Großem und Kleinem Schloss gehört zu den größten und ältesten seiner Art in Sachsen-Anhalt. Die Wege vom Berggarten zum Großen Schloss führt dann immer aufwärts durch den dritten Bereich der Schlossgärten, den Schlosspark.
Die um das Jahr 1200 gegründete Stadt Blankenburg (Harz) liegt dicht am Nordrand des Harzes in etwa 234 m Höhe. Die Herzöge zu Braunschweig-Lüneburg machten den Ort im 17. Jahrhundert zu einer Nebenresidenz, die ihre Blütezeit (1690–1731) unter Herzog Ludwig Rudolf hatte. Rudolf erhielt Blankenburg 1707 als Paragium. Gleichzeitig wurde die Grafschaft Blankenburg zu einem Reichsfürstentum erhoben und bis 1731 selbständig regiert, dann aber durch Ludwig Rudolf wieder mit Braunschweig vereint. Durch die fürstliche Förderung von Berg- und Hüttenwesen erlebte die Stadt auch einen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung. Unter Ludwig Rudolf wurden viele repräsentative Gebäude und Anlagen geschaffen.

The 107-hectare ensemble of Blankenburg Palace Gardens with the Large and Small Palace is one of the largest and oldest of its kind in Saxony-Anhalt. The paths from the Small Palace or the Mountain Garden to the Great Palace then lead upwards through the third area of the palace gardens, the Palace Park.
The town of Blankenburg (Harz), founded around 1200, is situated close to the northern edge of the Harz mountains at an altitude of about 234 metres. The Dukes of Brunswick-Luneburg made the town a secondary residence in the 17th century, which had its heyday (1690-1731) under Duke Ludwig Rudolf. Rudolf received Blankenburg as a paragium in 1707. At the same time the county of Blankenburg was raised to an imperial principality and ruled independently until 1731, when it was reunited with Brunswick by Ludwig Rudolf. The princely promotion of mining and metallurgy also gave the town an economic upswing. Under Ludwig Rudolf many representative buildings and facilities were built.

Plongeon imbrin - Gavia immer
Chausey, Normandy, France
This is the less common of the three Loons that can be found off the French Coasts in Wintertime
Several were visible in "Le Sound", the peaceful channel in front of Chausey Main Island, it is believed they were taking shelter from the frequent storms that have occurred in the area in the last two months, as Loons are not usually that easy to see!
