It’s that time of year again. My loon ranger duties are on. My parents have also become loon rangers this year as they had a nesting pair on their lake last year. I tried to find the nest without success and alas, no babies this year.
The loon in this image was a pair I photographed quite regularly on a reservoir near my home. The dam has since been removed and I don’t know where they’ve moved on to, but at the time, they were a pretty successful mating pair.
