This Common Loon was busy diving for minnows and came up close to the dock that I was sitting on. I managed to get one quick picture of the wing stretch before the loon dove under the water and came back up to the surface quite a distance away.

Great opportunity that you had and you made a very nice shot out of it. Beautyful pose with the red eye visible. Despite the backlight the zoom option shows nice detail of the shoulder and the with pebble in the back
