While kayaking in late fall on Tacoma Lakes in Maine I captured this close up of an adult common loon in the process of feeding its juvenile 12 week old chick a very large fish it had caught. The fish was so large that it had to repeatedly stun it by clamping its bill and shaking the fish before the loon passed it to its chick. This is number three of a three part series showing an adult loon feeding its juvenile chick. It is amazing that this loon is still feeding its grown chick so late in the fall. This needy chick chirpped and chirpped begging for this large fish and the adult passed it over and dived underwater right next to my kayak.
