Loon with fishing hook

This Loon got a fishing hook stuck in its mouth. I had even gathered a group of people and after speaking to a conservationist we were going to try to remove the hook. It is very difficult to capture a Loon but the good news is that a few days later the hook was gone and the adult Loon seemed to be ok. Sadly, one of the babies was gone. I will never know for sure but perhaps the baby was killed by the hook.
