The Loon Chick is getting big and seems to be doing great.  Dave Peterson took the photo below a week ago. Per Tom Wheeler, our former Loon Ranger, A single chick at 8 weeks often is as heavy as the adults and, assuming it learns to fly, has a 90 something per cent chance of survival. […]

The loon chick looks like it is doing fine.  On May 31 the Loons abandoned the egg on the nest so we will have only one chick this year.  The Loon family stayed in Loon Bay near the nest until late morning today, May 1 but are now venturing out into the lake.
