Do loons return to the same place to nest where they were born?
Biologists suspect that loons return to the same general area where they were born and try to work their way into a territory. Loons do not reach breeding maturity until about their fourth summer. Loon nests usually include two olive-brown, lightly spotted eggs. Nests are situated on a low mass of vegetation near water, often on an island. Both adults incubate the eggs and share in care of the young.
