First mates - Mother Loon and Chicks
The Wildlifer waited for this moment for years. The air is warm and his boat is ready, the surface of the lake still and like a mirror capturing the surrounding forest in its glassy depths. His eyes are scanning the horizon, when suddenly he spots it—there, on the water, the unmistakable silhouette of a loon.
But this isn’t just any loon. On its back, tucked safely between the elegant lines of its black-and-white plumage, are two tiny, fluffy chicks. Now out on his boat, the Wildlifer watches the mother’s careful, steady movements—she glides smoothly over the water, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings. The chicks, contrasting with their mother’s sleek feathers, seem content and secure, nestled close to her in a perfect display of nurturing care.
It’s rare glimpse into the delicate bond between mother and chick. Each shot taken on this day is deliberate, capturing the loon's graceful movements across the water, the glint of sunlight catching the iridescent green and black of her feathers, and the tiny, wide-eyed chicks clinging to her back.
