All is not well with our loons at Grand lac des Cèdres. For the last several summers, there has been
poor recruitment of young loons. Every
year we hope that the new season will be better, but it's not shaping up well
at all. High water in the early
season prevented them from nesting, and
it looks like we are only going to have one successful pair. But at least they hatched 2 chicks, and so
far are doing well.
During our count, we saw a total of 15 adult loons, some seemingly paired off, but without any young. We also saw a couple of Belted Kingfishers, a cooperative Spotted Sandpiper and a Bald Eagle.
