Summary
The June Beacon reports four loon chicks already hatched at the Barney’s and North Font nests, with additional pairs still nesting. It emphasizes that human disturbance and low chick survival remain significant risks.
Evidence limits
The count is a contemporaneous newspaper report and conservation appeal, not a complete island-wide population survey.
