Common Loon, Gavia immer
An unusual mammalian loon, Dimitricus aquatica, note the "short-sleeved" plumage that is particular to this time of year.

On a completely unrelated topic... via BoingBoing I've discovered a talented Finnish bluegrass band named Rautakoura. I don't speak or understand Finnish, but their instrumentation is first-class. If you're into bluegrass, I'd heavily recommend that you visit their site and download their demo tracks. Here is a link to the original BoingBoing post.

beautiful pics!
beautiful country, hot kayaking buddy, great day! Thanks for the pictures.
I'm guessing the lake in question is a glacial lake. We had no glaciation in the South, so there are (virtually) no natural lakes (except a few in low-lying coastal areas) Must be beautiful and so unique.
Cheers, Joe.
No, it's actually not a glacial lake... it is man-made... an old CCC project if I recall correctly. Let me tell ya though... they sure know how to build them to last. It is beautiful to boot. I am glad that it is a bird sanctuary, thus largely unspoiled by people (unless they discover oil there of course).
