Very few made it this year. Our biggest problem is "recreational boating". Did you read the article in the Anchorage Daily News last Sunday by Elizabeth Manning "Nesting waterfowl are losers when boaters don't pay heed"? I'm going to contact her and get some "Do not Disturb. Bird Nesting Area" signs from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

I am curious about which lake you are on. I suspect it may be Big Lake which is quite close. I went out today in my little row boat and only saw seven chicks that are practicing their flight for migration. Yesterday I saw many more. I think fall is fast on its way.
