Is the pond big enough for the loon to take off? I have seen two loons on
ponds too small for them to get air borne again, one was eventually caught by
a dog and killed; the other was rescued and moved about 100 yards to a larger
lake where it immediately took flight. They take a pretty long runway so you
might check on this bird regularly if the pond is that small. It is possible
it is sick and may have to be looked at or moved to larger water to insure it
has sufficient food.
Just a thought...........
Good Birding!!!
