Friends, this loon parent is feeding his/her chicks, the fish is as big as the chick, no wonder those chicks grow so fast. I watched while mama loon carried the chicks on her back and at 3:30pm she called to the male, soon the male appeared and both parents dove below the surface finding food to feed the chicks.  They put on quite a show but i was stretching the limits of my telephoto lens to record these proceedings.  I have gone back on two other occasions but they have moved out to the center of the lake.  This image is a little lacking in quality but does show the “decisive moment”. til Tomorrow MJ
