Continuing with my "5" Star Photos we come to the Loon (Common). I took this photo while fishing on Island Lake in British Columbia. Island Lake is one of the great "trophy" lakes in BC. It isn't easy fishing but the reward is wonderful: minimum 3 pound Kamloops Rainbow Trout, average somewhere between 4 and 5 pounds. But like all lakes in BC, it seems as though there are resident Loons that you must feed with your first catch. This particular Loon waited right by my float tube until I hooked a fish. Then he dove down, chased the fish, and finally took it. I like that the purple in the neck stands out as well as the red eye and black iris. It's one of my favorites.
