The ice went out a week ago, and I was out in my kayak with the "big camera" today to visit my loons for the first time this season. I have a 600 mm telephoto lens, so I keep a respectful distance when photographing the loons. Hazel and Iver were fishing along our shoreline. I just stayed in one spot and eventually Hazel came right over to the side of my kayak with a big fish in her beak. She sat right next to me as she ate the whole fish in one big gulp.
