Loons have returned to our local ponds. The Westons – the loons on the pond to my west – were spotted a week ago on Monday, April 10. The Middletons – the loons on the pond between the eastern and western ponds I’ve been following – showed up Thursday, April 13.
In other news, our bluebirds have been around the yard regularly. Their camera is supposed to send me a notification when they’re in the box. It hasn’t been sending notifications and has been on my list to fix for a time. Yesterday I went to show off the live feed and found Mrs. Bluebird in the box.
On Friday, I tried the Middletons’ pond. Two loons were foraging together for a time before preening and settling in for a nap.
I hope to follow the loons on the same three ponds that I have been watching again this season. You can keep up with their adventures by subscribing. And, if you know someone who enjoys wildlife, please share the blog with them.
[…] Loons are back! At least, on two of the ponds that Newbury VT photographer Ian Clark frequents. Despite some ice on one of them, two loons were already settling in—as were a pair on the other pond, along with a few hundred painted turtles. And, Ian adds, things are already well along in his bluebird nesting box. […]
