Wonderful captures Mike! I've always wanted the classic Loon with young on the back picture but my timing was generally off.
Great owl series as well!

Gorgeous shots Mike, I too have always wanted the classic Loon with young on its back, as well as find a Great Grey Owl!

Fabulous. Great exposure and comps. The classic loon with chick is wonderfully captured. The GG is brilliant. Love it.

Great job Mike. I had a Barred Owl stealing a Robin chick right in my back yard, yesterday, and striking a great pose, but in the 4 seconds it took to grab my camera..............
