A Nesting Common Loon

 

This Male/Female Loon will soon be releived of it's laying duties as we noticed the mate nearby....they try and give themselves a low profile as we approached....I am always amazed on how wide these birds are, no wonder there can be twin chicks riding on Mama's back, to keep them safe from underwater predators.....

How lovely! We are hoping to find a property nearer Ottawa with, at least, a pond. I shall miss my loony friends! But I cannot abide watching the jet ski drivers scaring them so.

Opps! had to delete my comment.....as I was saying I agree!!! they are so destructive since they can operate in such shallow waters...around 6". And they are so noisy....there were 2 jet skies on this lake but only for one day...Thank Goodness!!!! We have some on Horn Lake where our trailer is, but so far they are respectful and play in the larger back bays. Good Luck with your hunt...we will miss you here in the region!!!! I was hoping to meet up one day....
