Charlie Mitchell
A shallow loon nest constructed of mud and vegetation lies in the shade of green plants. Inside the nest is the broken shell of a hatched egg and one intact egg. The whole egg is brown with darker brown spots, and has a small hole in its side. The tiny, pointed bill of a pipping loon chick shows through the small hole.
