For the past seven years Larry Backlund has had loons nesting on an artificial nesting platform on his lake. This year he has installed a loon cam so that people all over the world can watch the loons as they nest and hatch their chicks. He also has a blog that he regularly updates to keep people informed of the loons's behavior off the nest. We wish both the loons and him good luck in this years breeding season and hope that everyone will enjoy the show!

The Canoe was drifting off the islands, and the time had come for the calling, that moment of magic in the north when all is quiet and the water still iridescent with the fading glow of sunset. Even the shores seemed hushed and waiting for the first lone call, and when it came, a single long-drawn mournful note, the quiet was deeper than before.
