Had a chance for a boat ride on the lake yesterday and on our lap we saw this loon. He was just sitting there on his perch looking from side to side most likely waiting to see a fish jump. It was sure a beautiful day. UPDATE: Well now I'm not so sure if this is a loon or not. Anybody out there know? I'm going to start hunting through my bird book and other internet sites to see if I can find out what it is. Maybe it's some type of an egret or heron. After doing some searching, this bird is beginning to look like it might be a Cormorant. Anyone out there know about Michigan birds? Click on the photo to get a closer look.
