Family Camp

One of my favorite summer getaways is our family camp on Woodbury Lake. I get to spend time with my mom & dad, brothers, sister-in-laws, and nieces and nephews. We've had loons on the lake for several years though never nesting loons. This summer one of the pairs of loons hatched an egg and now we get to watch the chick as it grows and learns how to be a loon. Just this past weekend it learned how to dive under water! Now it can begin fishing and feeding itself. The parents don't seem to mind us kayaking close by. Of course we are quiet and very respectful of their privacy. They actually don't even seem to mind when we go flying by in the motorboat with skiers and tubers trailing behind!!
