As of May 24, 2013, we have loons nesting on the platform. At least 1 egg is in the nest. They started nesting on May 22, 2013, so assuming the first egg was laid within a day or so, the first hatch should be around June 28 so there should be young chicks before the 4th of July.
We put the buoys out across the bay this morning. Please stay on the lake side of the buoys and remind guests to stay at least 200 feet from loons they may encounter around the lake.
