The Common Loon (Gavia immer) is one of the most iconic birds of northern lakes. I photographed this family from my kayak on a New Hampshire lake, drifting quietly while the adult moved through blue ripples with two downy chicks close beside her. This wildlife note card holds that real field moment exactly as it happened.
Printed on premium Red River linen cardstock, this original bird photography note card has a textured finish that makes the lake water and feather detail feel rich and tactile. Blank inside for a handwritten note, it suits loon lovers, birders, and lake house owners as a birthday card, thank-you note, or nature gift.
