I am linking up with World Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
This weeks post is on the Common Loon and a couple of female Surf Scoters I saw during my visit to Delaware's Indian River Inlet.
The Common Loon winters on the coast with a few found on inland reservoirs. I believe my Common Loon is the non-breeding adult/subadult.
Please visit Springman's World Bird Wednesday and Michelle's Nature Notes. Thanks to Springman and Michelle for hosting these fun memes.

ReplyDeleteYour Loon is a wonderful bird to see....
ReplyDeleteAnother great post Eileen. Luv your work..
ReplyDeleteA great series of photos. Ii have only seen a loon once and that was on some lakes in northern British Columbia. Quite unforgettable!
ReplyDeleteLovely Eileen... thanks for sharing -- you have the best birding outings ever!
ReplyDeletelove that loon call!!
ReplyDeleteI need to get me a good birding book..
Hi Eileen, Yes, you are correct about the Loons. Love those pictures! I have never seen Surf Scoters before. I sure like the surf picture with the nonchalant-looking Sea Gull. Have a most excellent day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteNeat shots of the loons. Whenever I see them they are way to far away to take a good photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds, Eileen! I love to hear the loons.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the common loon, Eileen! The haunting call of the loon is one of the most memorable of water birds for me.
ReplyDeleteThat's so good to be able to see birds in the winter time.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the loons! Surf scoters are new to me. Love reading about the places you visit!
ReplyDeleteOne seems to be staring right at you.
ReplyDeleteHi there - I was brought up to call your 'loon' a Great Northern Diver - we would see them on coastal waters in the winter in the North of the UK. Their call is one of the things I'd like to hear in the wild.
ReplyDeleteHope you have settled into the New Year.
Cheers - Stewart M - Australia
Wonderful shots of the bird.
ReplyDeleteGot to love yourself a Loon, such grand looking birds. One day, I should enjoy viewing some~
ReplyDeleteGreat captures - I love the loons
ReplyDeletedan
Wonderful photographs of the loons! I like the last picture, too, of the surf and the sea gull.
ReplyDeleteSeeing a loon is always a thrill. You really have to search them out here in VT and are lucky if you actually see one. Great shot of one in winter plumage, Eileen! Happy birding this winter!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots! Love the title.
ReplyDeleteLove the shots of the Loon.
ReplyDeleteHad one at my local lake the last few weeks.
Thanks for your comment on my blog! I really enjoyed looking back through your bird and nature pics. I will say that the only way I have found to keep the squirrels away is to hang the feeder on an archway on our porch that is kind of far away from the supports. There's nothing for them to grip onto. I am still not sure whether or not they will figure out a way around it though. They are clever little devils.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds -- loons are such lovely birds!
ReplyDeleteyou got some great shots of the loon. That´s a bird I rarely see. Maybe once a year only. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great bird to watch:)
ReplyDeleteHappy loon memories from our times with N.H. friends at their lakeside cottage--my infant daughter would wake up about 5 a.m. and start calling back to the loons.
ReplyDeleteYou got some great shots of the loons. I enjoy your photographs so much.
ReplyDeleteThe photo with the rocks is great! Love your title also: I could see in the url im-loony-over-birds - and that makes you fun, birdly loving!
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh eileen, i am looney as well. great captures and clever title, i think we have so much in common!!
ReplyDeleteso happy we found each other, i always enjoy my visits here!!
Thanks Eileen, I just love loons, especially their mournful calls across the water on a still night.
ReplyDeleteLoon and Scooter - both on my "I want!' list :D
ReplyDeleteLovely catches!
I d believe the Loon is the official bird of my family :)
ReplyDeletelove your photos
I think the loon would be our family bird too...LOL.. You get to see so many birds that I will only be able to see when people like you share them...thank you Eileen...Michelle
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for my first loon sighting. Lovely to see yours, thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Great shots of the loons!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I made it here earlier in the week; I enjoyed each of your photos, amazing names haven't they .. some birds?
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the Common Loon Eileen! I really enjoy seeing these birds but being inland it's a rare treat.
