The chicks in 19 mile Bay do not seem to be full grown and might not be strong enough to fly
Tis I wasn't close. Back on Feb, 2007 22 Common Loons got caught in ice on the Broads just north of Rattlesnake Island....17 of the 22 perished. So they can get caught in ice it has happened before. Hope not this year.
