Ozzie, I was thinking it was the female loon who was on the nest when the chick hatched, but you have a good point. I don't know if female loons are the larger ones of the pair, or not. I had also read the blog at that point where the author/biologist had said, "Mom" then there was a switch after that so I thought the dad had arrived. This is something that I will have to check out or ask on their website when I have a chance. Maybe Laurie knows about the sizes.

WE HAVE A NEW BABY LOON!!

It is looking around a the new big world that he has never seen before. Except maybe the peek he got early this morning through the small hole that he had pecked in his eggshell. But now he can see it all!

And he is pecking at the nesting material.

"There must be something good to eat here someplace, isn't there mom?! I am hungry! I have had a tough morning already and have put in a lot of work!"

So enjoy your views of our new loon chick....already dry and downy and active!

One down, one more to go!

Deb, the grotto looks like a magical place, very pretty.

Ozzie, I enjoyed the colourful sails on the opera house.

Carole, glad that Alan's surgery went well and he is on the road to recovery now. Homemade chicken soup sounds like the perfect meal for him right now.

"Our intellects, our hearts, and our souls are constantly being tested by the universe. Life will create new challenges for you to face each time you prove yourself capable of overcoming the challenges of the past. What you deem difficult will always differ from that which others deem difficult. The tests you will be given will be as unique as you are. If you focus on doing the best you can and making use of the blessings you have been granted, the outcome of your efforts will be a joyous reflection of your dedication. "

Cheryl, what an awesome quote........truly words to live by.

Carole, as always, your NAC posts always make me smile, they are just so cute and clever. You Rock Girlfriend!!!

What a wonderful surprise to hear (no pun intended) that we now have sound on the TH nest.........that is totally awesome!!! I'm listening to Thunder and Lightning whine as we speak.........with the call of either Mom or Dad close by. Awesome!!!! <Ahem> I guess I already mentioned that, didn't I. :bld: rofl rofl Uh oh, Dad (?) incoming with fish. A definite drop and go delivery...... :ok: rofl rofl

Loon chick moved down the nest to the parent in the water and then paddled out to it. Both parents took the chick for a little swim.
