It's always fun to see the lake change seasons.


Special Loons

Canadian geese. Loons have the ring around the neck, geese have long necks and white "cheeks".

Canadian longnecked Loonies. A close relative created by species intermarriage!

If you've spent time sailing a catamaran on the Big Lake, eventually a Loon will pop up between the hulls!

A pair of loons have returned to Braun Bay this week. They are doing a lot of fishing. I guess a long winter.

Anyway we will be setting up the loon nest soon. With luck they will breed better than last year. Five eggs, no chicks that made it.

One problem.... there is what seems to be a young eagle in the neighborhood.
Who do you root for?
