Please don't do that. I'm sure the bird will be fine. Loons are not endangered and introducing a few fish into a big pond will not help it anyways. Sorry to be blunt, but trying to feed a wild animal to save it from nature and possible death doesn't help the species. Maybe I am missing the point of the listserv, but I think doing what is best for the species and ecosystem should be the number one priority, even f that means doing nothing. - Liz Marchio ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ From: Terry and Heli <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 6:09:03 PM Subject: [Ohio-birds] Avon Lake loon is still there:( I saw the loon still on the pond this morning. The two times I drove by it must have been diving. I am tempted to buy some shiners and dump them in the pond so it has food.
