<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for the duck - loon story Donna.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Very interesting - I've got a duck loon story also. Too log</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">for here - I'll tell you sometime.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We missed you yesterday at the Loon Count. It was't the</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">same with out you but the show went on.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Talked with people I hadn't seen in years.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Amy and I went to George Lake. We paddled over the lake ad</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">up the Western Run along to Norway Island and circled Minards Bay.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Came out and then across to Eastern Run and back to the car.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A great paddle but not a loon, big or small in sight. About the only</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">thing for water birds were Spotted Sandpipers and they were numerous.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rumor was the Loons were in the western part of Keji Lake but there</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">were few chicks this year.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I wonder if the adults can store up enough energy to produce chicks </span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">every year? It may take a year or so to condition themselves to</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">produce chicks again.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Anyway a great day - even if we missed you!</span>

<p>Good fish story, Paul.  Thanks for sharing it with us.</p>
<p>I hope you and other 'LoonWatchers' had a good day in Keji.  The rain drops were pretty sparse so  the weather was likely okay.  I will join you and the rest of the gang next year for the 25th year of LoonWatch. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, I stumbled across this loon story today; quite fascinating.  Who would have guessed they could feed fish to a young mallard duckling and teach it to make long dives? </p>

<p>Nature keeps us guessing. </p>
<p>All the best,</p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday was Blue Beach day for me.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">And a good day it was. Sunny with a light on shore</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">breeze made it very comfortable.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Fish were cooperative also. Yesterday it was Striped Bass but you</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">never know. Last time I was there it was flounders, another time eels</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">sometimes skates or dogfish. a fun place to fish.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">About 500 m from shore a large fish jumped. Don't know what kind, probably</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">a sturgeon but hard to tell. Sure made the water fly! If that grabbed my hook I would</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">be going home without my rod.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">After the water got nearly high, shorebirds started wheeling round. Little flocks of</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">10 to 50 or so. Finally they joined together to make  a big flock. Quite impressive</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">They will land close by if you are quiet but they don't like movement.</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sunday is Loon Count day. Hope some of you will help Ginny out!</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Have a nice summer</span>
