We think mercury gets into a loons by eating fish who have mercury inside
their bodies. We thought of many different ways of how the mercury gets
into the fish. We guessed that the waste from coal burning plants might be
dumped into the ocean, or the smoke from the plants gets into the water and
then into the fish, or smoke in the air gets into the rain and falls into
the ocean and the fish consume it. There are our guesses. We are
extremely excited, jumping for joy, that we may be able to follow a loon by
telemetry. Good luck!

P.S. 6 inches of snow fell on us last night. Tell those loons not to
bother flying up to Minnesota today. The mercury will dip to zero degrees
(F) tonight.
