On August 12, 2012, I had the exceptional opportunity to go canoeing on Middle Pond, The Adirondacks, New

York with Nina Schoch  to photograph a very cooperative mama Common Loon with two 8 week-old chicks. Not

knowing Loons well, I was thrilled to discover the warm playful relationship among the three birds.
