Yea, Merrymeeting! So glad to hear that. Have the loons been there but just didn't have chicks?

Yes, they've been here. But the past few years the predators (usually raccoon) have raided the nests and taken the eggs before they hatched, or the nests have been abandoned, most likely because the eggs were not viable.
