Loon Chicks

Freedom and Liberty appear to be doing well - I saw them both out on the lake today.  Long distance pictures aren't very good, but they clearly show two little chicks!

And here are a couple more pictures from July 5th, only one day old.

Mom offers her wing for a safe harbor:

Dad is only stretching here;  he wouldn't attract this much attention if he felt any danger.  But if you see an adult acting like this away from the chicks it means it feels danger and is trying to attract you away from the chicks. 

They sure look little out floating in the middle of the lake!
