We encountered a family of loons during our fishing excursion this evening. Two adults and two little ones.
It was very difficult to get a family shot. The adults kept diving out of sight, as they are wont to do. And although the chicks did not dive, their heads seemed to be underwater most of the time. :-)

A High Streamflow Advisory has been issued (on Monday July 09) for the Bow River and its tributaries upstream of the City of Calgary due to melting of mountain snowpack. The Bow River upstream of Calgary is rising in response to the increase in runoff from snowmelt and glacier melt.
