Great news! I know that the Loon Census has been going on out here in NY, and they have been reporting similar results.

That is great news!

Just back from a 3 day trip to umbagog, and have to say, we saw quite a few loons. There was a pair right by our campsite that had a young one, and we saw 2 solo young ones when we were out exploring, not sure if the folks were out fishing without them or if they were now solo.

Listening to them in the evenings and in the mornings is always such a treat. They sound so mournful... and so joyous all at the same time.

For some reason I just never seem to tire of looking at them and listening to them.

Glad to know the populations are up!

Cool.

I hope to be kayaking next to them on 1st Connecticut Lake and East Inlet next week. They're always fun to paddle along next to.
