A mother's defense "The loon is putting up a fuss to conceal her two chicks that were patiently hiding under a dead cedar tree on shore," Goodman explains. "This is common duck behaviour, but I think loons take it to an almost Sarah Bernhardt level." "This one came right at my boat like she was going to ram me. I was surprised she came so close, perhaps 10 to 12 feet. I managed to get off three shots, of which this is the best." "She promptly dived, and a minute later surfaced, about 100 yards away, gave a shrill call to make sure I saw her, then dived again." "I thought about the chicks on shore, which I could just make out through the telephoto lens, but decided against photographing them. They had had enough stress for one day."
