Impressions of Nature

Photography by John Pennoyer

  1. Birds

Common Loon

The Common Loon (Gavia immer) is Minnesota's State Bird, much of my photography for this beautiful and graceful bird is taken from my canoe, however I did have an opportunity to set up my blind on land because a pair of Loons set up nesting duty on a small island not more than 50 feet from shore. Over the next three years I was able to capture some very difficult behavior of this bird.
