I was taking pictures of something else....then I heard this amazing chirping...so I redirected my lens to its source.  I never heard such amazing chirping--it wasn't so much like a song...just beautiful chirping!

I just read that they are one of the most common birds of North America and it took me this long (2 years since I started taking pictures of birds) to learn about them!

Thanks for the quick reply--I was there trying to get pictures of Bald Eagles, but they were there instead and were fun to watch diving into the water
