SARANAC LAKE The Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation announced that it successfully coordinated a rescue of three adult loons who were iced-in on Lake George. On Sunday afternoon, 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.
“That area of the lake had just iced up last week. With the relatively mild winter, the loons were likely wintering over on Lake George when the below-zero weather trapped them by quickly forming ice,” said Dr. Schoch. “At this time of the year, loons are molting into their breeding plumage and are often flightless because their wing feathers have not yet grown back in. Thus, they are unable to fly if the ice forms quickly and they get trapped.”
