There is not enough info in the OP to know if anything is amiss and, like I said, I'll assume the best about TLC until I hear otherwise.

TLC does what every animal conservation society does, they try and learn more about the animals, one way the do so is by banding an tracking animals just like any other animal conservation society.... In general it is not a good practice to trap wild animals just to track them, end of story period. It causes them stress and anxiety, and can lead to adults abandoning off spring..... If they felt they need to tag the second adult they could have waited..... I am sorry if you feel offended that I would call out the TLC on a bad practice, but it is what it is....

If you think I am against the TLC well then your dead wrong.... I have and do feed them information when prudent based on the discoveries my wife and I find well observing loons all over the lake.... Just because I support them doesn't mean I have to agree with all of their practices....
