:hatchegg: Congratulations on the first loon baby to hatch! I was trying to catch a glimpse of it on the cam, but mom was keeping everything well covered.

Larry's blog...

Sunrise 5:25 am CDT 6/9/14

It is a cloudy morning and even though the sun has just risen, there are no rays.

The male loon still sits on the nest with chick #2 safely protected and warm under him.

The female is feeding chick#1 right alongside the nest as she hoots rapidly, a sound I have not often heard before this year and before this female.

Then at 5:32 am, the male decides it is time for him to leave the nest and he dives in.

Without a moments hesitation, chick #2 follows and makes the big leap into the big unknown!

The four of them swim together.

As if on cue, drops of rain begin to hit the nest and the camera housing, creating the familiar "ping".

It is as if tears are falling from the heavens.

Tears of joy! Joy for our loons.

And tears of sadness! Sadness for us that so quickly we lose them. Being able to watch them so very closely.

The nest now looks so forlorn and lonely...

I love seeing them riding on the backs of the parents. Great capture, Beth.
