Loon Cam streaming live from the Lakes Region

MOULTONBOROUGH — Loons have laid their eggs on a Live Loon Cam run by the Loon Preservation Committee. The cam is streaming live on YouTube and features a pair of loons nesting in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The first egg was laid on May 22. Viewers can expect the second egg to be laid between May 23rd and May 25th. Until the second egg is laid, the loons will incubate the nest only sporadically. Once the second egg has been laid, viewers can expect them to incubate consistently. In the coming weeks, viewers can watch, up close and in real time, as the birds incubate their eggs and hatch their chicks. During this time, viewers will also see the loons interact with one another and with other species on the lake. Chick hatch is anticipated to occur between June 18 and June 20.

In addition to watching the loons, viewers of the cam also have the option to participate in an online chat to have their questions about loons answered by other viewers and Preservation Committee biologists. The chat allows viewers to share events that happen on camera, connect, and socialize over their love of the birds. Those interested in viewing the Loon Cam can do so at loon.org/looncam.
