Description
"Too Big Dad" is an original fine art wildlife photograph by Sandra Huston.
A photograph of Common Loon family with the Dad trying to offer its tiny loon chick a fish. The poor expression on the chick was too funny. It was as if it was saying “too big for me Dad.” Loon parents are very attentive and will provide all the fish the chick needs to grow fast for the first 10 weeks. About 12 weeks old they will have all their juvenile feathers and spend a good amount of time strengthening out their wings by running on the surface of the water and trying to lift off. This image was captured late in July while kayaking at Tacoma Lakes in Litchfield, Maine. I never get tired of watching and photographing these amazing birds and look forward to camp each summer to watch them raise their young and listen to there haunting calls at night echoing across the lake.

This is lovely. I have yet to see a loon, let alone capture an image of one. Maybe this winter. Congratulations.

Oh Sandra I love this! It's the image I would have loved to take during a recent trip to Maine but didn't find the Loon fam. Great job!
