The Loons have returned

With the tree frogs croaking in the swamps, the loons returned to the Northland to join in the chorus.
I took this photo this evening on Caribou Lake this evening, three days after the ice went out.

Question - for those who watched streaming video of the KOM today?

For those of you who watched the KOM arrive on the Canal cams:

1. Did the video stream smoothly?
2. Was the sound OK, including the Visitor Center announcements?

Please answer in the comments below.  I am still working on the performance of those two cameras and I need your input.
