2025 Loon Report

For the first time in modern memory, a pair of loons successfully hatched chicks on Great Pond (Kingston Lake). The pair chose to nest at the same spot on Clark Island where they had nested in 2024. They nested earlier (May 31) than previous attempts. The nesting pair shared duties and appeared generally to be committed fully to the nest. For a considerable amount of the nesting season, one adult sat on the nest while the other patrolled in sight of the nest. Eagle activity on the lake was constant throughout the spring and summer. Several encounters between the loons and an eagle were seen. Undoubtedly many more occurred. So far, the loons have been up to the task. Read the full report here: 2025 Loon Report
