Today we confirmed that one of the loon chicks has disappeared. Yesterday one of the residents reported that she saw the 2 adults but only one chick. This morning we saw both adults dive and leave only 1 chick on the surface so it appears that something has happened to one of them. No one has reported any unusual activity so we have no idea what might have happened. We will ask Mike Meyer of Wisconsin DNR if he has any ideas of the likely cause. Here are 2 photos of the family this morning. The chick has grown tremendously in the last few days.
