We&#8217;ve been visiting that resort since 1980 and it is definitely on my list of favorite places.  One of the things I love about it is that the Whitefish Chain of lakes that the resort is located on is home many loons.  On this trip I was able to get a bit closer than usual to a pair of loons and use my long zoom lens to photograph in the nice light of the late afternoon.  They are gorgeous birds.<\/p>\n<p>I have an entire set of photos on Flickr devoted to just the photos I have taken of loons.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pmarkham\/sets\/72157627249868439\/\" title=\"Loon Photos on Flickr\" target=\"_blank\">Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beacon Shores 2011: The Loons, originally uploaded by pmarkham.
