The early birders at Bass Lake Preserve, Chardon, Geauga County, saw the majority of the loons take off, beginning at 7:15 am. I arrived at the way-too-late hour of 8:00 and was able to see 46 loons remaining on the lake - this was the most loons I had ever seen at once (in the bird world) so it was still pretty nice.
