Common Loons

 The loons can be seen spring and fall on Diefenbaker Lake.

Unfortunately, we never get to hear their mournful call during the few minutes across the bridge in the vehicle.

 

 When I looked at my photos afterward, I was pleased to find these mergansers. (I could only stop the van on the bridge so long, and hadn't taken time to use the binoculars.) They were far away. I never seem to see Mergansers close up.
