July 16
This year the nesting pair of loons on our lake raised two chicks. Below, these pictures of them were taken July 16.
July 25
This next group of pictures was taken nine days later, on July 25. The chicks are growing fast.
August 14
These pictures were taken August 14, the final day I saw the chicks this summer. On this occasion they were accompanied by only one parent loon. The chicks have grown at an amazing rate, which must be necessary for them to survive their upcoming migration south.
August 15
On the next day, August 15, I did not see the chicks. However, I did video a lone loon struggling to swallow a fish that appears to be a bit too big.
