Q At our cabin in northern Minnesota, we normally have only one pair of loons that nest on the lake. However, early on most summer mornings in 2011, we noticed eight to 10 loons gathering together on the lake for an hour or so, diving and swimming. We call it “The Loon Breakfast Club.” After the morning breakfast stop, they fly off. Is this behavior unusual? Are they gathering to socialize?
