A Loon on Wheeler Pond

This solitry loon was fishing on Wheeler Pond when we dropped by in June. While not the best loon photo, it is mine and I'm sort of proud of it. Someday I'll get those magnificent loon photos!

Loons on Crystal Lake

There is a pair of loons on Crystal Lake. The groundskeeper says they will even come on shore when people are present. Also, they fly back and forth from Willoughby Lake to Crystal Lake.

One day last week I heard a loon on the beaver bog. But that was ridiculous, I thought. There are no nesting loons here. But according to the people at Crystal Lake, they would easily stop off to rest or feed here on their way back and forth to Willoughby.
