I was out birding today looking for birds along Nummy Island. There was a group of Red-throated Loons just at the end of the bridge where I could sit and enjoy looking at them. The weather was warm and the looks were great. Sadly, one of the Loons has something hanging down from his chin area.
I sent off the picture to a naturalist who believes this to be a hook from a fisherman. That makes sense as I often see people fishing from the rocks where I was sitting. He also said that usually the bird in question will die as it won't be able to eat. How sad for the loon. Sure wish something could be done.
