The first baby we saw was about 3 weeks ago.... At that time we saw several nests that where likely new, and the parents where sitting on the eggs.... This past weekend, all the nests we had found where un-occupied and we saw various babies....

My wife and I have been loon watching for many years.... The babies normally start to appear the last weekend in June through the first 2 or 3 weekends of July.....
