George was right! I have a Loon's nest at my cabin! They are building a nest right at the end of our unfinished dock. What's ironic is that Greg and I named our cabin the "Loon's Nest." No, not because I wear crazy pajamas and he sings Mexican polka songs all the time, but I'd understand why you would think that! (P.S. George, I believe I have your address so I will send out your Loon card!)
This photo was taken far away because during nesting season, a Loon will abandon its nest if you disturb them. They are finicky little duckies! But, I will be getting out my tripod for my mac daddy lens as well as a video camera. I'm about to be a Loon mama!
Also, Mrs. Mallard has a big brood. She had 11 babies! I think I'm going to call them the Duggar family....

Lol; The Duggars!!!
I am so happy for you, I imagine this is going to give you so much joy for a loooonnnnnggggg time.
So, are you not allowed to use your dock now? Does that mean Greg gets a pass on finishing it? I am thinking Greg planted the nest there. :) I am just sayin'
Congratulations on all the babies! That's quite the family you've got there in Michigan! WoW!
Can't wait to see more pics! Oh & videos too!!!
How fun is that

Another gorgeous pic! Darn, I was sure you were with chld but here you are with loons! What cute duckies, too! Love your choice of names - Duggars - that's perfect!
This is wonderful Shelley. It will be wonderful to see the babies hatch eventually, they are so tiny.
Oooooooooooooooohhhhh, how cool is that!! Cute family ~ the Duggars!! Like that!! :-)
How exciting! Can't wait to see your photos with the Mac Daddy!
Oh Shelley! aren't they sweet?
You must be in Heaven having a nest right there! You must be running around like a "loon`atic".
Sorry - I just had to say it . . .
OK, when you come out - we will go 4wd and I'll take you to the wine country with me! WHOO HOOO!!!!!!

Great news Shelley! We look forward to all your great photos!
How exciting Shelley! Can't wait to see more photos. Sorry about the mouse!
Have you ever been blessed with feathered-friends-a-plenty. So anxious to see the baby loons as well.

11 babies! That's a lot of little ducks! :D
Thank goodness you have a great camera and a powerful lens because that just might mean that we have the opportunity to watch this fun process. So exciting!
Congratulations on becoming a Loon Mama. I look forward to seeing some of the pictures you get from your long lens.
Thanks for the Loon card.
Your hubby has got to be pleased! Now you have a reason to go even loonier and he can't work on the dock for a couple of weeks! That's a win-win in anybody's book.
Oh they knew where to build a nest....right where it will be appreciated! Congratulations, Shelley! I can't wait to see all of those pics!
Duggar family...cute! :)
