oxtongue lake, sunset kayaking

had the chance to do some late evening kayaking on Oxtongue lake, which is where the Algonquin inn is located,we are getting close to that time when we can expect to start to see Loon out with their young.
so i headed out with my camera hand held with the 100-400mm lens, just offshore from the inn i came across this solo Loon i guess the female must still be at the nest.

and then just around the corner on the northern end of the lake i came across this pair of baby Common Merganser's with their mom.

here is mom close by.

as soon as i got to close then the young jumped onto the back of mum for safety, but after a while they got off again but kept close to her.
