Hi All,

Evidently several people around the lake have been seeing loons go up onto the shore.  Our Loon Ranger (Donna Luce) reached out to the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) and asked them about it.  Caroline Hughes (LPC) sent the following message:

There seems to be a subset of loons that do that—we hear about it on scattered lakes throughout the state, and it’s something that we’ve been hearing about for years. Interestingly, it seems like adults that do it teach their chicks to do it, so it’s an individual variation sort of thing. As far as I’m aware, it’s not linked to cyano blooms, although it’s interesting to hear that it happens to be coinciding with a bloom on Province Lake.

So, if you happen to see them going up on the shore, it is nothing unusual.

Regards,
The PLA
