Loons with Two Chicks
Two eggs hatched in 2014. Both chicks survived, thrived and fledged, taking off in October for a few years at sea. The Vermont Center for Ecostudies has learned that loons return to places very close to where they were raised, even after all that time and having only seen home from the air once, as they were flying away.

Beautiful! We only get to see loons, well, the avian variety, as migratory fowl, but man, I love ’em.
