Got a call last week from Hal and Judy -- We have two loon chicks on Birch Lake. The first chick left the nest around last Friday and the second chick probably around Monday. I haven't heard if the nest by the island has any nesting activity.
Common Loon--Life, History Cornell Lab of Ornithology -- Here's some more information about loons. The Cornell Lab has a lot of interesting information.
Toward the bottom of the page there is a link to "The Spirit of the North" -- an article about loons with some good pictures.
Another thing while you're at the Cornell Lab, you might want to check out their Merlin Bird ID App. It's a free Bird ID app that's really fun to use when you need help identifying birds. Here's a link to the app -- http://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/
