The bald eagles have definitely impacted the osprey chicks also this year. =
I know of two nests so far that the chicks have gone missing.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] A late Loon chick
Thanks for the info Donna. Lake Torment did not have excessively high water=
this Spring. I guess the late nesting may have resulted from a failed firs=
t nest though. The property owner did not mention another unhatched egg so =
seems only one was laid. And yes, we have one or more Eagles buzzing the la=
ke. It or they takes ducklings as regular fare. Worrying- much more so than=
the amount of traffic on the lake.
A healthy, almost fully grown family of 8 C Mergansers swam by last week. N=
ice to know things are OK on that front.
