Loons & Eagles
As many as 7 loons in our bay this year and not a single chick. Yesterday, Sammie saw a bald eagle attacking an adult loon.
The eagle made several passes and the loon escaped each time by diving but I'm wondering now if that's what happened to all of the chicks.
Also, this spring, while having lunch at Canoe, we saw an eagle attacking ducks in a small area of open water just before ice out.
