Default Mama Loon on a floating nest

Near one of our favorite places to hang out on the lake, there is a floating nest with an arch over the nest to protect the nest from predators. Mama has been on the nest for at least two weeks....Dad keeps swimming around the area. He was actually hilarious today, kept rolling over on his back kicking his feet up in the air. What a hoot. Tried to get a video with my phone, but he was just too far away.

Hope they are successful. Last year they had a single chick we watched grow up over the summer. Almost felt like part of the family.
