I have heard that they lost their two eggs to an Eagle who was harassing them as they incubated. Not sure if it smashed the eggs or carried them off. The artificially bloated Eagle numbers in NS are the biggest threat to our Loons. There were none on this lake in the past. I have heard of them displacing Ospreys and  Red-tailed Hawks from their nest sites as well. Don’t want to ruffle feathers but I think it is time to stop the winter feeding. Eagles are clever survivors and will do fine without it.

* Eagles have recovered from DDT. If something else were found to do 
with these dead Chickens (aquaculture food?) the NS Eagles might 
disperse to areas which don't yet have recovered populations.
