Our loon came to visit yesterday, and sat in front of the house posing for pictures. We have not had a nesting pair on Bullet Pond in many years. I think there may be too much human activity on the pond for their liking.
Birds frequently fly over from nearby Horseshoe Pond to fish. I have read that these birds will not take off from their home water once they have settled in for the summer because it is difficult for loons to get airborne, but my experience disproves that. They can be heard calling as they fly over from Horseshoe, and they take off and land many times during the season.
