These two loons swimming to my kayak early in the pandemic changed my life. I wasn't a serious photographer then and didn't know anything about "Birding" or the birding community. I am so grateful for that day! #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #loons #nature #wildlife #nikon #Z8

Snow Bunting Charlotte VT.

Always amazed at waterfowl in Vermont during the winter. They seem content to waddle around and dive in water barely above freezing. Tougher than we are for sure!

Agreed, not a particularly nice angle. I was trying to capture how well they collectively navigated large waves breaking where they were foraging in shallow water. Additionally during editing I noticed the hen half way up the wave facing away had a leg band which felt special as I rarely see that.
