loons

A great way to put your love of nature and the outdoors to good use!

This poor loon is an example of why you shouldn't discard fishing line into a lake and should make an attempt to retrieve broken line if possible.

This isn't a joke. Loons have been falling out of the sky due to a strange phenomenon. Here's how you can help them.

When you think of the genre of horror movies nearly anything goes. Animals that you would never think about attacking people all of a sudden have an evil streak. But the beloved Loon?

The Great Lakes Aquarium is doing its part trying to keep lead out of loons by safely collecting the toxic lures.

It's important to give the Minnesota State Bird it's space when you're out on the water. They may have chicks with them that you can't see.

While fishing on opening weekend, a loon came into my fishing spot and put on an underwater acrobatics show while attempting to catch lunch.

With a stroke of luck a Biology Intern in Tomahawk Wisconsin happened to notice what looked like a baby duck swimming with loons, and the rest is history.

This is hopefully an isolated incident of a few loons in Minnesota that have died from the West Nile Virus.

Everyone knows that the Loon is the state bird of Minnesota, and for me I am always excited when I see one. They just seem so elegant and mysterious and the haunting call is like no other.

Even though there was a little snow to start off the week (or almost a foot in some places north of the Twin Ports), this spring has been abnormally warm. With the early warmth come many signs of summer, including the return of our state bird to the Great White North.
