The loon is in the same area 36th St and E. Calhoun Parkway. It is trying to feed in 6 inches of water by bobbing his head. At shore he sometimes propels himself 3-4 feet in very shallow water. He is otherwise just floating and sleeping all day. He does not dive. It appears his right leg or foot is injured.
I called DNR and have not received any feedback. The Wildlife Rehab does not pick up birds but they will care for him if he can be brought in. I don't think at this time he would be easy or safe to catch. It has been two days with very little for him to eat so he may be easier to catch as he continues to weaken. If someone has a small boat and heavy duty net a rescue might be possible. I will continue to monitor his progress.
