There are two new chicks on the Squam Lakes this week! Against all odds, a chick hatched on Little Squam after 32 days of incubation-normal incubation for loons is 28 days, so this was quite remarkable! Another chick hatched on Squam Lake as well! Unfortunately, there was a nest failure on Squam this past week […]
We have a second chick on Squam! Another chick hatched last Friday and the chick from the first hatch continues to do well-all fantastic news! Many thanks to those of you participated in Loon Chick Watch over the past holiday week, I really appreciate your help protecting these loon families! The new chick is in […]

Meet the loons from Five Finger Point.
Great news, Squam Lake has its first chick of the year! The chick hatched on Wednesday and the parents are very busily taking care of it, trying to convince the sometimes reluctant chick to eat all the minnows they bring! Unfortunately, the family seems to be struggling to find a quiet spot away from boating […]

Meet the loons from Moultonborough Bay
It’s been another busy week on the Squam Lakes! I’m delighted to report that we have two new nests on Squam! On a sad note, however, we did lose one nest that was attacked by a mammal. This brings the number of active nests to one nest on Little Squam and 5 nests on Squam […]

Welcome to the 2018 Squam Loon Season! Despite the late ice-out this year (April 27th, latest since 2001!), the loons are off to a fast start! Loon pairs are mostly settled in their territories, and one pair is already on the nest!! Hopefully other pairs will follow suit soon and it will be a nice, […]
