Loon chicks nest_Real????

Two mature Bald Eagles were soaring high over Libby Museum and Tuftonboro Neck Friday.

Yesterday, late afternoon, a Loon started up with frantic calling--joined a few minutes later by a second Loon.

A dense treeline blocked the view, but maybe five minutes later, with even more continuous calling, an immature Bald Eagle came into view and flew east towards Wolfeboro's Carry Beach.

The delay in the Eagle's appearance was probably due to the Eagle's stopping to scan "the menu" from a lakeside perch.

In the evening there were several together. I would love to know why people have seen them "gathering" all summer. Usually they don't gather until fall when they are getting ready to leave. Could it be protection?

We saw eight gathering by Harilla’s yesterday morning and this is distinctly earlier in the season than we have seen them. No eagles in the vicinity. Generally only a loon pair in this area.

I wonder if the loon society has any idea why they have been gathering all summer.
