| Hatching the Second Egg I photo by: Ken W. Watson, 2011 |
| Loons commonly lay two eggs which ideally hatch at the same time. But, in some cases, the second egg can hatch a day or two later than the first. How do I know that the loon is on the second egg and not on two eggs or just a single laid egg? The dark area immediately beside the breast of the loon is not a shadow - it's a hatched chick.
