Looks like this is really happening!
Poor
little Larry the Loon. For the first several weeks of his (or her) life,
he was safely tucked between his gorgeous parents. A few weeks ago, his
Dad took off for greener pastures - or bluer waters, as the case may be
- leaving him in the loving wings of his devoted mother. The
mother/chick pair were rarely apart - eating, sleeping, and just
generally floating around together - day and night.
This morning, however, everything changed. Big Daddy-O flew in to
reconnect with his lovely wife. After a heartwarming reunion and a
little mutual fishing, the pair bid a fond farewell to Larry and took
off into the great blue yonder. Sans Larry.
Apparently, that is
the way it goes in the Loon world. The parents just up and go - leaving
the chick to his or her own devices until he or she is able to fly.
Larry is pretty close to taking wing. His flight feathers are almost in.
I would imagine that within the next few days or weeks, Larry will make his inaugural flight. He'll flap his way over to a larger lake where
he will hook up with a bunch of other hipster chicks. They'll hang out
like a bunch of rowdy teens until it is time to fly
south.
Poor Larry. He looks a tad forlorn out there on Little
Partridge Lake all on his own. Good luck with those flight feathers,
bird man!
We'll be sad to see you go.
