A common loon chick, about one month old, swimming on a New Hampshire lake.

Common Loon Chick

Grantham, New Hampshire

Before shedding their down feathers and molting into their first-winter plumage, baby common loons are fuzzy little brown balls that float atop the water, pestering the parent birds for fish after fish. This individual was completely unbothered by my kayak and allowed me to photograph him a bit small in the frame, surrounded by an unbroken expanse of green from the trees and other plants around the lake.
