This loon was swimming with a group of seven adults predawn on a northern Michigan lake. It is fun to watch how these groups interact. Mated pairs tend to be very territorial, but these impromptu meetings often go on for a bit, but often end with some dramatic displays. Besides this type of flapping pose, there is often rowing, where they propel themselves across the water by dipping their wing tips into the water. They can go quite quickly.
