The elder chick has been practicing to fly for about 10 days now. Today, at 82 days old he did his longest run of nearly 200 meter and did not take off. He will fly very soon.
Loons are excellent divers and have heavy bones, unlike most birds that have “hollow” bones. This is the reason they need such a long ran to get airborne.
