Thanks to all for their attentions to various loons. I learned from the experiences of others. It's gratifying to know these unlucky creatures have gotten a new lease on life. Even more importantly, some wider understanding of a species and its adaptations has been shared by many, and this is one of the highest uses of this list, it seems to me.
