WE HAVE A CHICK!

 

The mate has been swimming around the nest for a little bit and then got up on the nest from the back and just sat and waited.  The loon on the nest got up and left and .....

THERE WAS A CHICK!!

The egg shell was amazingly intact.  At least 2/3 of it intact.

The chick had 'zipped' it around the large end.

One down one to go!

It gets even MORE exciting!
