Common Loons hold a special fascination for me, as they do many others who hear their wails echo over a northern lake in the still of the night or see them gracefully swimming amid the mists in the early morning
Released in July of 2017, my recently published book Gavia -Tales From Loon Country explores in words and pictures the place between worlds where Common Loons and humans meet. The book pairs my images from over a decade of photographing these amazing aquatic birds with written submissions from people of all ages the world over. The submissions came in the form of recollections, first-hand accounts of experiences with Common Loons and poems written about this iconic bird of northern summers.
