Alert Little Long Pond 11 week old loon looking all around the pond this windy morning. Most of the 20 minutes I observed it was diving for small fish.
The almost 11 week old Little Long Pond chick was by itself late this morning. It was diving often, a good sign that it is feeding itself. One adult loon was observed at the outer edge of Bracy Cove, but no way to tell for sure if it was one of the LLP parents. With the same wind from the north that helped lift the 15 week old Upper Hadlock juvenile off the water, there was no indication that the LLP bird was getting ready for flight practice this morning.
