Loons getting shot

Last summer our male loon in Green's Basin died from a lead sinker. The female is back this year with a new male. John, from the Loon Center, said it could take as long as 3 years for this pair to produce chicks.

I am happy to hear that. I didn't know they took a new mate. We had one here for years that was single and never had a mate.

are frequenting the cove. I thought you'd be interested. I'm thrilled. What I think is the male was really calm today. We cruised right by him on our way out. It is the closest I have ever gotten to a Loon in 10 years.

We came back went in for a sandwich and then there were two. Swimming right by the end of the boat (we were docked) and I left my camera in the house from lunch.

I'm loving the return of the Loons calls.

Sitting on my deck, watching the Lake and hearing the first Loons of the season. As good as it gets.

Maybe she is looking for a new mate over in the Marina. Still no sight of her.
