Loons like crayfish too which probably accounts for less than we used to have. We didn't have many if any loons years ago. I was trying to remember when I saw or heard about the first loon on the lake. Anybody?

There were lots of loons on the lake when I was a kid back in the early 70s. There were also a lot of crayfish. The loons started to disappear for a variety of reasons but have made a comeback in recent years. Unfortunately, the crayfish don't seem to have followed the same trajectory. Increase in loons is not a direct causality of crayfish decline.
