Common Loon

March is upon us.  In this area, March is usually when spring begins to happen, although in some recent years it seems as if we moved from winter directly to summer.  I am very much looking forward to warm sun and the ability to get back to work on the teardrop.

Meanwhile, this common loon was feeding close into shore this morning, so I took advantage.

Alas, there is no daily merganser.  Yesterday I noted that they were very frisky, looking for a dance partner.  Today, not a single merganser was to be seen.
