I have never seen a loon flying around during the winter or even dead for that matter. I thought they went towards the coast or a little south untill they find open water.
That's right Charlie, I'm not even sure the article I posted was bonafide. I do know if they don't leave before the ice they are in deep s---. So it is a little far fetched that that many Loons would still be around ????
I personally really like Loons and true article or not it bothered me that so many might have died that that way, on "any" Lake.

It is pretty sad to hear of that many dead. I enjoy hearing them, both while fishing and while sitting by my open window during the warm months.
Never knew they needed water to take off...
Heck of a way to die.
Tt has been a strange winter. Maybe that has something to do with it? It was near 70 degrees in early January. That made me wonder if we would ever get ice.
