Loons on Lake Lewey

Correction: We initially mis-identified these as Red-throated Loons, but they are actually Common Loons in winter plumage. Thanks to some more proficient birders for pointing that out!

**************************

One of the highlights of our mini-vacation was the chance to view and photograph some Loons against the breath-taking backdrop of the bright Autumn colors reflected in the placid waters of Lake Lewey.

There was also a Robin walking among the fallen leaves and I got a nice portrait of him
