Loon joins scuba divers for a swim

[AandA]

We heard from friends that there was a video shown on KARE 11 news the other day of a loon swimming with scuba divers.  I checked out the KARE 11 website and found this link with a brief article and link to the video:


Does anyone have any additional info.?  Curtis, are you out there??  ??? If so, tell us more!! :o :o

Art and I were wondering which lake and where on the lake this happened.  We recently had several close encounters with 2 loons at the beaver lodge on the west end of Huntington. The loons did not appear to be upset by our presence (no anxious calls from the loons that I've experienced when accidently getting too close to a nest and/or young loon) and were busy diving for fish while we were diving. We had multiple underwater sightings (and no one had a camera  :'( )When we surfaced they swam quite close to us, sometimes within arm's reach  ;D. It was really cool!!
