Thanks to Dan Best for sharing the good news of a "Loon Fallout" (I hope the Warblers 'fall out' in similar fashion in May). I arrived at Bass Lake Preserve at 6:00pm and got some photos and counted 280 Common Loons (posted on eBird). Another Geauga Park naturalist, John Kohler, posted on eBird 200 Loons on LaDue Reservoir after 6:30pm tonight. That's almost 500 loons in one day. Makes you wonder what is happening at the other nearby large lakes like East Branch, Punderson, Aquilla, Walter Best Preserve and Mosquito Creek Reservoir. Pretty special and a good reason to get out there tomorrow and enjoy the spectacle - rain or shine.
