Good afternoon!
I hope everyone is staying safe and staying well!
This has been a productive week....well for photography but not much else lol.
Some of you might remember my quest to photograph a Common Loon last year....how one landed in our local pond but it was always out in the middle every time I went there! Then one day I was more determined to get a shot than it was to evade me and I drove from one side of the pond to the other 4 times (with a trip home as well to test Boomer) and then finally got my shot! Well, 4 days ago a friend sends me a message.....there is a Loon at The Coves (another spot I frequent). Well...I had to be patient as DH was just expecting a call from his oncologist (everything is good) luckily the call came only a minute later then I went out the door! Yes, I got shots of the Loon and it was an adult this time (last year's was a juvenile). It was raining a bit but I didn't care. And the part of the coves it was in....well it was reasonably close. That Loon disappeared and one appeared at the pond I normally go to (possibly the same Loon) so I was able to get additional photos! Hoping for more still if it decides to stick around for a few days!
This week's photos.....a Coyote, a male Wood Duck, a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, a male Osprey, a Fox Sparrow (in my backyard), a Common Loon, a Gosling, and today's shot...a male Wild Turkey!
As always, thanks for looking!!!

Those Wood ducks are so beautiful. Great job on catching the loon! We were out ocean kayaking on Friday and saw a few loons in the water. I miss the smell of the ocean and the wildlife. You think I'd never seen a heron before. 
Instead of just my first time on the water since mid March.
