“…….a loon fallout happens when migrating loons get ice on their bodies while they’re flying, causing them to crash land because of the weight of the ice on their body and how it interferes with their ability to fly. It usually happens with the atmospheric conditions if it’s icing at altitude and it just happens to coincide with the time they are migrating its a really big problem for them,” said Marge Gibson, founder of the Raptor Education Group.

 

Experts say that loons scoot instead of walking due to their feet being toward the back of their body. When they are stuck on land, this makes it difficult to get back to the water to take off again.”
