Maine's loon tally could go down this year following last year's record numbers because of the wet spring, according to an Audubon official. Up to 1,000 volunteers across the southern half of the state aim to find out Saturday as they scout out lakes and ponds in Maine Audubon's 28th annual loon count. Loon surveys are being held the same day in New Hampshire and Vermont.

MOULTONBOROUGH, N.H. — A chick has hatched on a live loon cam located in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, biologists from the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) confirmed.

The chick hatched in the early hours of Sunday morning. The loons are still incubating the remaining egg and will continue to do so for the next 12–24 hours, so viewers can tune in for an up-close, view of the first day of the first chick’s life and the second chick’s hatch.

The Loon Preservation Committee is also streaming a second live loon cam, which is expected to hatch around July 11.

The Loon Preservation Committee works to preserve loons and their habitats in New Hampshire through monitoring, research, management, and public education, all fostered by an extensive network of dedicated members and volunteers.
