Lake coves are a loon’s preferred location to nest and rest because they provide cover from predators.
My parents purchased a little cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee when I was 6. We spent every weekend there from ice out until Columbus Day and we lived there all summer.
The map below shows Buzzel Cove and the little red dot is about where our place was on Wyman Trail. Buoy 14 was directly in front of our cottage and we looked up at Castle in the Clouds and Bald Peak Colony Club sat on the shore across from us.
This is where my entire family feel in love with loons.
