OK, it is not ‘our’ Loon per se. It is a Loon nesting & raising her new baby on ‘our’ lake — making use of the nesting raft we provide each year. I am NOT going to mention the name of the lake since I am very committed to making sure that the nest is not disturbed.
Yes, I am very protective about our loons. We go back a long time. In the fall when I am the only one visiting the beach they come close and watch me. I am swum with them.
Having nesting loons is NOT new for us. We have, over the years, have had many. ALAS MANY did not make it to ‘full term’. That distresses I NO END. This nest is in a better place than when they decide to nest, on their own, in the stream leading to the lake.
That is all I am going to say. SMILE.
When they are BOTH swimming I hope I am lucky enough to capture a picture or two.
