Loons are back

[shoppes on the bay]

i saw one as i was leaving the port last week-end while i was working on a fish trap boat - he had red eyes and his summer plumage so i would say he was ready to head north at any time. they are here all winter along the south coast of ri then they go theough a molt, their summer plummage appears and bam - they are gone until next winter. of course i am lucky because when i come up i get to see them again lol
