Shy - common loon chick hiding behind dad
« on: July 18, 2017, 23:34:53 »
This pair was taken last week.  The chick was a bit shy that morning, so peered around dad to be sure it was safe.  The chick is about 5 weeks old at this point, and starting to lose his fuzzy covering and to develop the juvi plumage.  Those ugly early teen years!

Advice and comments always appreciated

Sweet, lovely, and - of course - technically superb.
