This year for the first time in many years our resident loons have successfully built a nest and are expecting.

One of the prospective parents sitting on the nest.

Their nest is located in the mouth of Blood Brook.

The loon stretches its neck and lowers its head while fishermen are nearby

As of a few days ago there are no hatchlings as yet, but the parents are tending the eggs in shifts and we are hopeful.

Please respect their privacy and give the area a wide berth.

The Vermont Center for Ecostudies operates the Vermont Loon Conservation Project.  Lots more information at their website.
