Let's get the line in the water. Uh-oh, who's watching me fish?

Our fisherman is READY (with Apologies to Amadeus)

Fish on! But what-ho? Yon Loon has decided that he'll be dining at Chez Andy

Kind of hard to be angry at this fowl critter, so beautiful!

The nerve of this guy!

He becomes bolder.

He makes one final pass by the boat - eyeballing me the whole time

Fishing is hard enough! This is like extreme fishing :lol3

All shot with Canon 5D and Canon 24-105L aboard. ISO 400.

Enjoy (sharing the catch) photography,

Loons are cool. Nice story, except for that one nightmarish shot of that beast, whatever it is. The one in the hat.

An epic battle - two loons competing for fish in the same lake. :smile6

Good pics BTW

Beautiful bird... we have sea lions who steal from the fisherman at the pier. They hate the "cute adorable critters."

somebody beat YOU to lunch :dunno :scratch :huh :wxwax how did this happen :uhoh

[ginger_55]

That is a really cool series, Andy!

I particularly like the photo of you that the fish took! (sorry, the loon took it I think)

Did you plan all of that? Tease the loon with the fish just to get a photo?

You did provide a modeling fee, even if it was kind of a primitive barter. Did you get a release?

ginger (and I said I wouldn't be mean :uhoh ) LOve it, love it! Food chain, and it is about the food!

I think that red-eyed loon "stare" put Andy in a hypnotic state...he gave up his lunch and his camera!!! Great story - great series, Andy! :thumb
