Tired Little Loon
Only two days old, this little loon is getting a ride on his parent’s back.

I monitored the nesting loons on our lake during their second attempt of the season. I documented it because our loons have not had chicks for several years in a row. This photo was taken during week three, late June. The eggs went on to hatch, and two chicks were born.
One of two loon chicks eagerly accepts a minnow from its parent. In this image, its only two days old, born on July 11th. I was amazed to see how much it can eat!
