I was flying that night. We circled the area trying to figure out what was going on, if someone was in trouble or if it was a rescue. Anyway, we called in via radio to the FBO and they checked on it, got back to us that it was indeed a Loon rescue. They had a lot of calls about it, which is probably why they didn't get back to everyone. The next day I flew with a gentleman who was hired by the loon rescue group to find the loons. They were able to rescue all but two that night (I think he said there were 5 or 7 total, I can't remember). They planned on returning early in the morning to get the other two. He didn't know, but was pretty sure they would have gotten them.
