    My house is about 40 feet from Island Lake and I was treated to this little show Sunday evening.  For several hours two very young loon chicks rode around on the back of one parent while the other parent fished and fed them. In the photo the parent is giving a small fish to one chick while the other chick watches. (Jim Dillard photo)
