Have been sick for a long time and just got back into it. The loons here were already incubating by the time I was able to get out. My point: I do not know when they started. Twenty-nine days (or a little more) of incubation and you have a chick or two. But getting there is a long shot.......
When they spot the sitting loon, some people have difficulty staying away. Loons cannot take that stress. Enough of it and they simply abandon. So please don't get too close to a sitting loon. Thank you.
The one above was just relieved by its mate. 24 hours divided by 2 = 12 hour shifts. Someone has to be on that/those egg(s) virtually the entire time. It has to be rough.
Have fun
And will look forward to seeing some great loon shots by you.
