He/she continues to hang out. Two days ago, it let me get to within 3 feet of it. It seems to like fishermen. I watched it follow a hooked fish all the way to the dock at the west end. The fisherman took a few swats at it with a second fishing pole, then threw the caught fish to the Loon, who immediately wolfed it down.

The bird’s plumage has gone dull for the winter. We go every day to check its status.
