Loons
I lived on Moxie Lake in Northern Maine for 10 yrs and witnessed this many times. Loons mate for life, so how does a young loon find a "single" mate??
Most often their first choice is a "taken" mate, who will resisit the advances of a youngster. An older male will protect his mate from an intruder.
It happens all the time, you just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Peace My Friends, MOXIE
