The Common loon is
back in our area since a few weeks. They
are actually on their nest to carry through the hatching of the single egg that
was spawned. Once the egg hatched, the
male or female adult loon leaves the offspring alone on very few
occasions. The adults become very
protective and even aggressive toward all the animals and surrounding birds
which try to get close to the offspring.
Judging by their beak, I may understand the danger.
Have a great day. Louis
