Index of Subjects I have not yet noticed Loons on any of the lakes I pass by but this is a good reminder to start watching for them. Loons often get to the lakes early but usually don't start nesting till after the middle of May or even into June. I suspect this period gives them the best shot at getting through incubation without being flooded by spring storms or left high and dry in drought. Interestingly despite the late spring of 2015 nests at both Steverman Lake outside Lunenburg and Mill Lake near exit 5 on Highway 103 hatched earlier than in 2014. However it could be that Loons on Lakes farther inland were delayed somewhat by even later ice-out.

First I have heard since they left last Fall. So it seems the resident Loons are returning to their breeding lakes. At least they can get started nesting much earlier than last Spring. Other lakes? Keji? Nancy D
