The signs mean that there is a nest in the nearby neighborhood, and chicks have hatched and are swimming about with their parents. The chicks usually hatched mid-July. We have two sets of nesting loons at the northern end of Moultonboro. Last week we were so fortunate to see two different adult loons catch fairly good sized sunfish and swallow them. It was magical. We also saw one of the parents come up with a little minnow and feed one of the chicks who are about the size of a quail about now.
