Baby Loon!

written by Moxy
Good news this week! One of our cottagers was kayaking and we saw a baby loon with the parents! It is extremely tiny so they think it was just born. Please advise all boaters in your family to boat accordingly with a watchful eye for the loons.  It takes several weeks before baby loons can dive under the water to avoid an oncoming boat or seadoo. Wonderful that we have a new baby. Please keep an eye out for them! Baby Loon!
