I Was Looking For Loons

Saturday, December 31, 2011,

This is an off-topic post, I admit. Generally my pics are all about wildlife or nature but this is a scene I came upon while looking for wildlife. Plus, it’s a cool pic so why not share it here? Not to mention that I’m a little short of pics to post at the moment.

Three days back I took a drive over to West Meadow Beach. I was hoping to find some loons or maybe some wintering ducks but I didn’t see any. It was a beautiful day but the wind was barreling in from the northwest at over 25mph. While the ducks were probably seeking the shelter of calmer waters some folks saw the very same conditions as a reason to get out and play. This is just one of about eight or nine guys that were zipping back and forth along the beach. It looked like a lot of fun but that wind was brutal. After ten minutes or so I retreated to the refuge of my car and turned up the heat. I may have missed out on the ducks but I think maybe I saw some loons. JK

  1. You DEFINITELY saw some loons. Those guys go out in WAY colder weather than that. I’ve seen those loons before. CRAZY!
