I have a problem with an eagle taking a loon chick too. I wish they would stick to fish and I would like them better!! I am trying to save two baby ducks who lost their mother when they were just a couple days old. We don't know what happened to her. These two babies are almost 4 weeks old now and doing very well. I am trying to find the balance between helping them out and having them learn to care for themselves. They come up to our door several times a day for a handout. Every time I go outside they find me and if I call them they come. It's just never a good thing to have wildlife trust people. We all aren't friendly to them. We got them some duck food but they don't care for it. I think now they are eating enough lake "stuff" to survive if only an eagle or possibly the loons don't get them.
