June 18: Bad news again...

Gee, that lousy weather, rising lake, storms etc. are dooming our loon nesting prospects. The neighbor reports the loons, after a particularly rough and stormy night, are no longer on the nest. She's going to to check the nest out sometime soon (when it stops raining) to see if the egg is still there, but this doesn't look promising. I've never heard of a 3rd laying, so I'm betting this is the end of the run for this year. Sadly, since they didn't have success at this location, they likely won't return to the same spot to try again nest year. We're not out to the lake for another 10 days, so we'll see.
