    The loon season has started for me in Northern Michigan. Fewer chicks than usual this year. Probably climate related unfortunately .
    Still fun to float around with them. This male adult was trying to look tough while escorting the chicks about. This lake was troubled by frequent intruding loons, which try to take over the resident loons territory. They will fight to the death at times, and the intruders will kill the chicks of the resident pair as well. So, high drama.
