This Loon was all around Ellacoya on 4-10-13. I sent a few pictures off to the folks at the Loon Center and got back a nice series of emails from several of the Biplogists from the the Loon Center.

From Tiffany Grade (Loon Center Biologist)
"I'm copying our Senior Biologist, John Cooley, on this message, as he will
certainly want to hear about this first arrival on Winni!


Hi Steve,

"Echoing Tiffany's thanks for your sighting, interest, and report, the first
confirmed loon sighting in the Lakes Region! We compile the early season
reports and provide them to our field biologist for the lake, who begins her
regular surveys in mid-May."

Best,
John Cooley, Jr… (Loon Center Chief Biologist)
