I was swimming up at camp the other day when a loon surfaced in front of my Grandmother, Barbara Scott's, camp. The loon let me get very close and was even answering my attempt at a loon call! Then, when I swam back to the dock, he followed me!

My friend Charlie Saidel snapped a few amazing photos that I thought I'd share with everyone up at the lake. I suppose the album should be titled "Swimming With Loons" don't you think?

That's me swimming right next to the loon.
