The Loon Family
On the first night there we realized that the lake was well populated with loons from the Haunting and Awesome loon wails. In order to get good pictures with my phones camera, I needed to kayak within a couple feet from the loon and her chicks. I approached them in 2 seperate attempts to get close. The second time, i got too close and the mom let her chicks fall into the water and spreaded her wings. I almost bumped into her, and i was panicking, trying to quickly paddle backwards, away from them. The mother loon wailed/howled at me so loudly i could barely hear a random woman on shore holding up a finger and shouting "Too Close!!!". well duh.
