Off Wisconsin Point on Thursday, Steve Betchkal, Storme Nelson, a
group of birders from Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, and I saw three
Red-throated Loons, way way out. They were far out, the light was
horrible, and one loon kept its head pointed up, so I double-checked
on my digital photos and had to do a lot of over-exposing and adding
fill light to make sure these guys were definitely Red-throated Loons
rather than cormorants, but yes, they definitely were.

For the love, understanding, and protection of birds

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds.
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after
the winter.
