Good article. I learned something. I always assumed that Loons were finding lead sinkers on lake/pond bottoms. Thus, I didn't understand how they could ever get ahead of the situation as there must be a lot of lead sinkers on lake/pond bottoms from years past. The article explains that the lead usually makes its way into the Loon when the Loon devours fish that have lead sinkers in them or on a line trailing them. Makes sense as fish with lead/hooks, etc. in them are slow moving and easy targets for the Loons.
