"Rogue intruder" loons encroaching on their parents' breeding area this summer left two common loon chicks in deep trouble. Luckily they were rescued by the Little Sebago Loon Monitoring & Conservation Program and taken to Avian Haven Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center. Hatched nearly three weeks apart and to different parents, they recovered at the center. By early September, the chicks were spending all their time in an outdoor loon pond, "skillfully catching live minnows and making their first practice runs across the surface of the pond," Avian Haven wrote.
