MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • June 14, 2020
When it comes to the common clash between bald eagles and loons – it’s common to hear Mainers rooting for the loon. “Eagles are magnificent, there’s no question. If you see one come down and grab a fish it’s a sight to see,” said Janet Coulter, who summers on Ingalls Pond in Bridgton. “But they are basically considered the enemy. We don’t want them dead. But we’re all loon people here.” Both birds are iconic Maine species. But others agree that many people tend to side with loons.
