We've heard loon calls, but it seemed to be a single loon calling out. We haven't gone down near the marina, sometimes they nest down there, or at least spend a lot of time down there.

Not a happy scenario. Love seeing the chicks when they do hatch.

We always ride down to check their progress and usually she is sitting on the nest that the loon people put out. And we also have only seen a single loon this year. Maybe she is nesting somewhere else as you said. I guess we will find out soon.
