The Loons are using the loon nest.

 

 Here are pictures of the Loons taken on Sunday..May 29.  They began to  nest on  the nest they used last year, but they were disturbed by the  Eagles, and a third  Loon appeared on the scene and they had the most  horrific fight out front and so  after they ran the intruder off, she tried  again.  The Intruder appeared again that  evening and was again run off.    so she abandoned the nest.  One of the metal  pontoon floaters (am not sure  what they would be called) must have developed a  leak.  Leroy and Kip  Nelson tried to fix it, but were unable to do so.  They added  grasses and  reeds to the nest and so later she decided to use it!  (Leroy and I  wonder  if it is ‘Low Income Housing’ on Fish Hook!!!!  We hope she succeeds.  Last  year they hatched one Baby Loon.
