My suspicion of a nesting common loon pair in the bay of the lake in my 
yard was confirmed this morning.  After a loud announcement of 
yodeling, the pair was seen in the water with one chick.

I had suspected a nest in the floating bog in the bay but was unable to 
find it despite diligent searches from my kayak.

The pair was seen regularly in mid May then only one has been observed 
for the past several weeks, until this morning.  The parents quickly 
brought the chick back to the floating bog and disappeared.  A good 
move considering that an adult Bald Eagle has been lurking about since 
the hatch of the goslings and mallard ducklings 2-3 weeks ago.

Cigars?
