HAGUE â Three loons which were sitting ducks for the appetite of nearby eagles were rescued from Lake George on Feb. 14 in an operation coordinated by the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation.
Local residents and birders a week ago Sunday near Hague, Warren County, contacted Nina Schoch, executive director of the Ray Brook-based Loon Center, to report the loons swimming in a small hole in the ice on Lake George. Eagles had already absconded with a fourth loon, and one was sitting at the edge of the ice monitoring the three others.
The loons found themselves in peril because of ice that formed quickly.
