A BIG thank you to all for your kind comments Re: yesterdays posting of the Loon-image cover page for The Mississippi Belle. I also wrote a feature article in the magazine about the Common Loon family that I have been following and observing for the past several years. Presently (today) I observed the couple searching for and finally picking a nest location and starting the nest building process.
