I thought I'd check Ladu to see if any loons had showed up there too. Just one common loon, on a fairly quiet lake. There are a few hunters about. 9 American coots, 6 mallards, and about 100 Canada geese. Just a couple of ring billed gulls. But delighted to see a flock of 50 snow buntings feeding on the spit, near the shore along with 8 killdeer. Also at least one pair of sand hill cranes are feeding along the edges.
