Daiv,
Loons are really hard to get close to. They dive just when you almost have them in focus . . . They are probably my all time favorite water fowl. Listening to their calls over a calm lake at dawn and dusk is a slice of heaven here on earth.
I used to spend summers in MN and never saw pelicans there. Even living in CA for nearly 10 years, I rarely saw pelicans. When do they arrive in MN and do they raise a nest of young while up there?

Nathan,
Pelicans (like many other birds) were a rare site here 10 years ago or so. Now they are very common and are here all summer. So I'm quite sure they are raising families too.
In CA, Brown pelicans were a pretty common site too. I used to see lots of them while sitting out on the surf board waiting for a wave to come by. It was always fun to watch them dive!

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Another reason to be jealous of the West Coast types, they have so many more humming birds than our one and only Ruby Throated... I really enjoy seeing the little guys though, and those shots are not easy to come by.
I need to go catch some new bird images. I've been so busy documenting my c&s that the birds have been neglected. But, it has been so hot and humid lately that not even the birds want to come out!

It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.
