The nest at Seagull Rocks produced one chick. So far the other pairs don't seem to be
nesting. I guess a late nest is still
possible. We counted 25 loons on the
lake and what looks like 4 pairs. So one
chick is nothing to brag about, but it's better than none!
One species that is doing very well on the lake is Common
Tern. They are quite approachable,
too. I have noted swarms of 20 to 30
circling over one spot fishing. This
always is an indicator of a loon underwater chasing minnows to the surface.
The nesting birds are much quieter now, except for the
Red-eyed Vireos and Song Sparrows.
