Fall is Migration Time for Loons and Lake Users Alike
Soon Thanksgiving will be here and Canadians will be putting away the paddle, winterizing the boat, closing up the cottage and – perhaps – thinking ahead to personal migrations to warmer climes. Meanwhile, adult loons, followed by their young, will be migrating to their wintering grounds.
Should I Make a Nesting Raft for Loons?
Watching loons can have a wonderful side effect of increasing our desire to help them. But what is the best way to do that? Would building a nesting raft, or platform, benefit the loons at your lake?
Lend a Hand to the Loons and Lakes You Love
Will you be spending at least one day a month in June, July, and August at a lake graced by loons? You can help these elegant birds by participating in Bird Studies Canada’s Canadian Lakes Loon Survey.
