Very nice! I love loons. Thanks

yes, I found it interesting after he put his wings 'back' in place, the spotted feathers on top are almost like 'back' feathers covering the wings when they are folded

Good stuff. Does have a windy look. You still using an FZ camera?

[chicagobirder]

yes, still have an FZ50, but have found video so much fun, that I am using that a lot more, it's hard to get one camera that does both well.

My new video camera is a Canon HF200, bought it last Dec. for family trip to Thailand, which reminds me, have to post my Thailand bird vids
