Hello All, Delighted to discover that the loon parents from last year have once again returned to the same nesting site - and are sitting on two eggs. Last year was so much fun capturing them with film and video. They successfully hatched one chick that time. (watch in 1080p HD for best quality) Chicks should hatch in 2 to 3 weeks!! Cheers, Justin -
Hello All, It has been fun watching and photographing the nesting common loon (see earlier post) and I am happy to say the egg has successfully hatched. I captured the following images when the chick was either 5 or 6 days old, back on July 3rd. Here is the chick at age 16/17 days. They certainly do grow quickly! And here is a short video I shot: Equipment used was a Canon 7d and Sigma 150-500mm telephoto. For those interested, photographic prints of some of these images are available for purchase on my website: www.JustinHoffmanOutdoors.com Happy Shooting, Justin
