P21pilot commented about the above
video,
"It appears that the two co-exist quite
nicely."
I responded, under my most secret nom de
plume, LarryTaylorJr,
"It appears that they co-exist nicely.
But the loons have left eastern lakes in
the Valley coincident with human
development. No one knows why. Loons
like to remain on the same lake year
after year and live to be some 20 years
old. So it's possible that the ones we
see like it here more than they mind
human activity, but such activity may
not be welcoming to new loon pairs. When
the old couples die out, there may be no
replacements. I want to keep the loons,
but don't know what to do about it."
