The old foot wave... - a photo on Flickriver

            We found this Common Loon swimming in the harbor at Homer and it was waving it's foot around. That was a new one on me. I watched it for a bit as it waggled its foot and I have no clue what that behavior this represents. I'm making it a point this year to try to get some shots of these birds in their breeding plumage. I think they're just so gorgeous in their formal attire!
