Wher I grew up in Boston, there was a State Mental Hospital near our community.

We were always taught to steer clear of loons.

The loons are in Burlington, Montpellier, and Brattleboro. With lighter concentrations elsewhere.

The Bambi Mentality makes people want to pet wild animals.

I told my next door neighbor about the baby robin that was sitting on one of her porch chairs yesterday, and I told her she could look at the bird through her entryway windows without disturbing the bird and its mother.

So NATURALLY she walked out onto the porch...

Vermont Wildlife biologist Doug Morin says most areas where loons are nesting on Vermont’s lakes are surrounded by signs reminding people to give loons the space they need, but not all are marked.

Better give this loon some space, it needs more than usual.

BTW, use Clear Eyes Drops, it removes the burn:)

Does anyone still blame the bent one for his roaming?

How about this hog as a second term President? That would scare even Putin.

I have about 20 loons outside my office building every day.

Japanese poem...

Out in the marsh reeds, a loon cries in pain
as if having remembered
something better forgotten.

American poem...

Down in Savannah, a barge cries in pain
as if having remembered potatoes
from Kennehbunk Maine.

Yes, all the Vermont loons, or just the ones with feathers?
