Hi there, I get several landed loons every year and once I am sure they
arent thin or injured I often release them in water. If they are thin or
neurological I take blood to test for lead poisoning as this is a major
issue in loons. If anyone finds one acting oddly, please let  me know

  NOV. 23, 2008 - Bernard Forsythe was called by some friends near
Greenfield, King's Co., who had just found a large living bird on a road
(Peck Meadow Road) today. Bernard investigated and discovered it was a
living and apparently healthy RED-THROATED LOON. Bernard has the bird now
and plans to release it tomorrow at high tide, probably at Evangeline Beach,
n. Grand Pre. Today's weather was partly sunny, which may have enhanced the
appearance of the road to look like water?


  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
