....when On Golden Pond first came out (still my favorite movie of all time!) I remember thinking....."man, they must have tons of loons over on Big Squam" and my grandmothers response was something about it was just a catch for the movie, that they were all but gone in the lakes region.....
well.....enjoy them, I cant wait for our trek this year, maybe we will get lucky and see a few. Thanks again.

I believe it was Gilford and Dover. They tried to save the one in Dover, but the loon later died. So very very sad! I wish they could catch these shooter's. I won't tell you what I think they should do with them!

Sorry, GBG, I meant in the movie, On Golden Pond, when they were riding around in the boat on Wolfeboro Bay, was there a loon in that particular shot? I know this has been commented on before here.

I have become obsessed with the Loon Cam. One had hatched and the mother/ father has widened the opening in the other egg. I just stopped watching a few minutes ago...there were people speaking in the background...I hope they won't disturb the loons. The chick had just crawled under the parent's wing...gotta go back and watch.

I have decided that in my next life I will come back as a Loon. They are treated, quite literally, like royalty.

I'd get loony with you.....not a bad thing to come back as......I like to swim, I really enjoy to eat fish and sitting on my a*& on a nest for a few months at a time might be something I'm really good at. At least thats what my wife says!!
