"Baby on board" - a photo on Flickriver

"Baby on board"

            This is the classic "baby on board" loon image. Not quite as sharp or as close as I would have wanted, but getting anywhere near them created obvious agitation. But, otherwise the conditions were as good as I could ask for. 

According to range maps on ebird, the Adirondacks are at the most southern end of the common loon's breeding range. I hope that range doesn't shift north - watching the loons raise a chick each year is a highlight of the summer.  

This image is the day after the parent's momentarily abandoned the chick, so clearly all is well. The chick here is probably a few days old, at most a week.
