Photo Life List #6 - Common Loon

Common Loon

On April 12, 2008 it snowed, which is unusual. We went out to Rock Cut State Park to look for birds and saw 10 Common Loons on the lake. I posted about this trip back in April. (Birding in the Treacherous Weather!)

I was able to get my first Common Loon photo. I have seen Common Loons in northern Wisconsin and at Seney National Wildlife Refuge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In Illinois, Rock Cut State Park is the only place I have ever seen them.

Great job with this and the loons don’t always let us get close!
