Recently, our pair of loons apparently lost one of their chicks. We have been hearing a lot of mournful calls for hours at a time at night. Frankly, I have no idea of this is related to a loss or just normal summer Common Loon activity.  

Here is the solo chick about a week ago.

A week later, it’s easy to  see how fast chicks grow.
