Loon Chick on Caesar Pond - 10th Week of Life

Here is a short video showing the loon chick and cormorants who are also frequenting the pond.

Here we are at Day 69 in the 10th week of the Loon Chick's life. The chick now has all of its juvenile feathers and looks pretty spiffy, if I do say so...I love the brown coloring and the feather patterns. 

It still hangs around with one parent and will beg for food. It should be capturing between 90-100% of its own food by now.

Such a handsome chick...

Here it is preening. Gotta keep those gorgeous feathers waterproofed!
