Hi all, Once again, another update from the Taughannock Loon Watch. Starting where we left off, Nov 17th ended up producing the largest push of loons over the past five mornings with 178 south (20 north; 40 on water). Since then there hasn’t been much activity. The mornings of the 18th, 19th and 20th were nearly identical with 60/60/69 south (12/14/12 north) respectively. The 20th had an exceptional number of loons just sitting on the water; I counted at least 120 with one scan. Today things slowed considerably with 20 south (2 north) with an additional 40 on the water.
Things should remain pretty slow over the next few days but Saturday is shaping up to produce a huge push if the weather prediction doesn’t change. Being the weekend, this should allow a lot of you who have been planning on coming out to be able to join us. We’ll keep everyone updated if this prediction holds. Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving tomorrow!
