Great shot of the loon rearing up. I wonder why they do that?
After preening, Ducks, Loons and Grebes usually stretch and flap. Whenever I am shooting one of these species, I always look for an opportunity to capture this kind of action. Especially right after they are done working over their feathers with their beaks.
