SARANAC LAKE The Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation is very pleased to announce that it successfully coordinated a rescue of three adult loons who were iced-in on Lake George. On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 14, local residents and birders contacted Dr. Nina Schoch, the executive director of the Loon Center, to report the loons swimming in a small hole in the ice. Eagles had already absconded with a fourth loon, and one was sitting at the edge of the ice watching the other three loons closely.
