They stayed at the other end of the lake yesterday and it appears that they are allowing another pair of loons to spend time on the lake. We saw a pair with no chick yesterday and were worried but then another loon flew up to them. We lost sight of them but there was no squawking so maybe after young are born they allow other loons onto the lake for early warning.

Here is what they have to worry about. These are poor photos as the boat was rocking when I got these. The eagle likes to keep an eye on fisherman too as fish like walleyes and northern pike that take a long time to get unhooked may either die or struggle on top of the water for a while when released. An easy supper for the eagle family.
