We have a cottage on a lake that has a Common Loon family visiting us every year. They are such awesome, unique birds to hear and watch. They are very attentive to their offspring, feeding and guarding them from predators.
I love this! You captured this sweet moment perfectly with the excitement and trust of the baby and the calm nurturing feeling from the mother. The water and reflections are gorgeous!
what WAS anon. thinking? a flat head duck?! silly, silly anon. beautifully detailed LOON ann.(and the flatness of it's head is just right)
Artist Reply: Sheila, I guess some people don't know that loons aren't part of the duck family. I guess art like this can also be used to teach people that are interested in nature.
Thanks so much for your kind comments... Ann
