Today is a sad day for several residents of Moon Lake.  At 4:55 PM several people witnessed the death of one of the loon chicks.  It was run down by a boat pulling a water-skier.  When residents tried to recover the dead chick it was run down a second time by the same boat.  These people were apparently oblivious to the presence of the loon family that had been in that area since this morning.

Please let this be a lesson to other lake users that it is important to watch for the loons when they are on the lake.  This incident proves that it can happen here; and unfortunately, a loon chick had to die to prove it!
