Loon Update

Hummm this is interesting I never really thought about the heat from the stand point of getting hot enough for a loon to abandon its nesting site. It sad to some extent however also nature at its finest. That is the hardest thing when trying to get a species to recover is that mother nature does things that often hamper the process.

Now this brings me to an interesting question... Now personally I have never been in any position to be by a location on a regular basis where I could view a nesting site. But if someone was and they noted that they believed a site was abandoned, of course my recommendation would be to call the Loon Center.... However with loons has there been any history of rescuing abandoned eggs and hatching them? With a further adder of releasing them back into the wild?
