On Saturday, May 9 a loon was observed sitting on the nest in the late morning. It had not been sitting on the nest before that time. On Sunday evening the loon was still on the nest but many flies were observed on and around it’s head. Late morning Monday, May 11 a loon was still on the nest but no flies were observed, perhaps due to temperatures being cooler. Hopefully the loons can tolerate the flies this season.
