I was at Carlos Avery yesterday late morning. Nothing especially noteworthy, but I did see a pair Common Loons, one bearing a black chick on her[?] back, in Pool 6.
How common are nesting loons this far south? Does anyone know their current southern limit? "Birds in Minnesota" mentions that they nest as far south as Scott County, but that was in the mid 80s. -- Paul Lender ======================================== Paul A.
