The young loon has not been seen for a couple of weeks, sadly. However there seems to be a convention going on. These 5 were partying two mornings ago. Garry saw 7 at one point. But the highlight? A game of chicken when two loons checked me out while I was swimming. They were noisy to enough to hear above my gargly breathing, even with a bathing cap and water-plugged ears. It was very cool, but also a bit spooky to see them so close and on the same level in the water. They eventually dove and disappeared.

Super photo. What a treat!
