Today Sheri and Matt returned from a Sea-doo run on the lake and had great news! The nesting "man-made" platform that was abandoned because of a nasty boat crash on the island where it was situated, is now hosting another loon. Later today, we travelled to the site and sure enough, one very content loon on the floating platform, nesting! Now we didn't see any eggs as the loon didn't leave the nest while were watching, but the mate was nearby, in the water eating away. Looking very promising. Unfortunately, we have no idea when the 2nd laying would have occurred, so who knows if we'll be around for the birth(s). Anyway, it looks like we might be back in the loon business again!
