Common Loon Family
This Common Loon (Gavia immer) swims with two downy chicks close at her side. Her ruby-red eye and black-and-white breeding plumage catch the early light. I photographed the family from a kayak on a quiet New Hampshire lake one summer morning. This original photograph is available in a variety of formats, from wall art to gifts.
Soft brown down covers each chick, a striking contrast to the adult's sharp black-and-white pattern and deep red eye. The water around them ripples in shades of blue, holding the calm of an early morning on a northern lake.

I photographed this Common Loon family while kayaking, watching from low on the water as the adult moved through the blue ripples with two fluffy little loonettes close beside her. The kind of wildlife moment that makes you stop paddling and just drift for a while, trying very hard not to make kayak noises and ruin the whole thing.
Order this fine art photography print on archival paper for a soft, classic presentation, or as a metal photo print on dye-sublimated aluminum for sleek, vivid color and luminous detail. Sizes range from 4x6 desk accents up to 24x30 statement walls. Each print is made to order in my Henniker, New Hampshire studio.
