Re: [mou-net] Common Loon in Hennepin County

We have a pair every summer on our little lake in Minnetonka, and I think
there is sometimes a population on Lake Minnetonka. As for flyovers, I have
heard and seen loons overhead on summer mornings. I don't know if they are
our residents or others. I imagine that loons on small lakes like ours take
advantage of several sites to feed, especially when they don't have to care
for chicks.

 We thought it seemed very unusual to hear Loons flying overhead in the Twin

 Is this an unusual sighting?   Has anybody else heard or seen Common Loon's
 in the southern part of Minnesota recently?

I live in south White Bear Lake and hear loons often.  Woke during the last 
full moon and heard them calling...very special.
