A loon is nesting on the lake shore this spring, with the mate swimming near the nest to keep watch. What a welcome surprise!
The nest is on the west end of the lake, on the south shore, between homes of the Jenkins' and the Weide's.
I report this so you can know, and be aware to keep your distance, as well as alerting any visitors of yours to do the same.
Our memory over the years includes only one chick on the lake, two Junes ago. Observers believe that an eagle hunter may have taken that chick, after we had had about three fun weeks watching the parents with the baby.
Folks tell us this year that the eagle who watches from his "eagle tree" perch on the Krahn point is very aware of the nest.
Fingers crossed that both human visitors and other wildlife will all keep their distance from the loon pair!
Thanks so much for the alert, Carm. Please, let's all do our parts to help this loon family. Ramona
