This is the first time I have seen Loons with their young. The little ones look nothing like the vividly marked black and white adults. The babies are fluffy red-brown balls of feathers. These are so young that they don’t even dive yet. They are just bobbing along side Mom (I assume but male and female adults look alike) in a quiet bay. Dad shows up with a bit of yodeling then he dives. He resurfaces with a nice size minnow in his bill and brings it over to the “family”. This happens half a dozen times as we watch then he just hangs around with the little ones safely cradled between the two adults. It was very cool to watch.
