Good fish story, Paul.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

I hope you and other 'LoonWatchers' had a good day in Keji.  The rain 
drops were pretty sparse so  the weather was likely okay.  I will join 
you and the rest of the gang next year for the 25th year of LoonWatch.

Meanwhile, I stumbled across this loon story today; quite fascinating.  
Who would have guessed they could feed fish to a young mallard duckling 
and teach it to make long dives?

Nature keeps us guessing.

All the best,

Donna
