Saturday, July 17th 2021 Each year, LPC hosts an annual Loon Census to monitor New Hampshire's loons and their progress on lakes throughout the state. The invaluable data gathered from census observations are used as: a mid-season check on productivity, a mechanism for discovering unknown birds in each territory, a means to track movement of loons and define relationships between neighboring pairs, and a community based tool for generating interest and involvement in loons.

She laid 2 eggs in May

The male abandoned the nest after a territory dispute
The new male adopted the nest, female and eggs
This morning when Mom slid off nest she dragged the egg into the water
We did not expect it to hatch. Eggs were left alone rather often
A muskrat would swim by periodicly. We named him Elon

So ends loon season

LOON FIGHT
Loon Territorial Fight
Jul 14, 2022 Three loons, 2 fighting then one chases the other out of the area. We believe these were two males. The current male territory owner is in his first year, having driven off the previous male in 2021. Having just had a successful hatch of two chicks, a fight for territorial rights was a good possibility.
The two chicks were stashed far away and the fight was on. At the moment, we don't know who won. Only the female is in the area and she retrieved the two chicks.

Seems loon cam extended range picked up a fight today

Loon Chick Rescue
July 14, 2022 An intern from LPC rescues an abandoned chick and brings it back to the nest. It takes two tries, because the chick imprints to the kayak but after the second drop off, the mother loon takes over and corrals the loon back to the nest.
The chick had been abandoned by an unbanded male, who hasn't been acting by the book. The chick was in the water, clinging to a buoy for four hours before the rescue took place.

The WRAP
July 16,, 2022
https://loon.org/looncam-blogs/waiting-for-the-dust-to-settle/
Loon Territorial Fight
https://youtu.be/tQbQ_KBLh8I
My theory is that chick 1 we called Stormy, he hatched during a storm, was off nest and away for 4 hours while chick 2 hatched. So #2 had sole possession of raft that 4 hours. That is one reason he didnt submit to his older sibling. The chick fight looked a lot like his Dad's real fight.
They do learn early

And then there was ONE :'(

Welcome to LPC's LoonCam 2! UPDATE: (Sunday 3:30PM) Egg 1 hatched 9:59PM Saturday, July 9. The chick appears healthy. The second egg hatched Sunday, around 3:30PM.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hggPzB1jKZE
This YouTube live stream features a loon nest in the lakes region of central New Hampshire. There were two eggs on the nest. Hatches were predicted to be July 8-10. The first egg was laid June 11, at 18:51:25 and the second egg on June 14 at 9:21:36, or 62 hours apart. Our blogger's precise hatch predictions (and he has a good track record) is: Egg 1: July 8, 10 pm. Egg 2: July 10, 2 am. During incubation, hatch, and before leaving the nest, anything can and has happened. For much more information on loons, see our web site at https://loon.org/ FYI, the LoonCam 1 pair did not nest this year due to territorial issues and is no longer streaming.

So far 4 cams started with 8 eggs, 2 hatched one, left one .
Raft 1 lost an egg.
Raft 2 still has 2 eggs.
Boulder hatched one chick and left the other egg.
Fairlee hatched one chick and the other egg broke, dead chick.
If not for rafts, loons might go extinct.
THANK YOU LPC.
FAIRLEE UPDATE 6/30/2024: Hatch!
On June 29 at around 5pm, the first egg hatched revealing a beautiful baby loon.
The next day we all experienced joy and anxiety about the health of the chick and the fate of the second egg.
Today, we have confirmed that the second chick was stillborn. While disappointing that our second chick did not survive, it reminds us of how fortunate we are to watch and learn from our wild environment. The loon family vacated the nest this afternoon to move on to a nursery area nearby.

The Last Goodbye
Fairlee June 30, 2024
https://youtu.be/SCIMgEgx_kM
Wailing sorrow over lost chick,
Rejoicing over surviving healthy chick,
Mom n Dad leave the raft for the last time.
Wails and tremelos are so haunting.
Next year LPC will build a new raft for Fairlee.

Raft 1
Egg 1 broke some days ago
Egg 2 broke today.
Loons on raft1 are gone.
Incubation was so sporadic, eggs alone so many hours, I never thot they'd hatch.
Raft 2

Today female dove off- underwater FAST as an eagle landed on the shore behind the raft.
