Loons Nesting on Lake Winona
We may see a baby loon (or loons) on Winona very soon. A nest has been spotted on the lake and mama loon is roosting on one or two eggs.

People are asked to stay at least 150 feet from any adult loon with chicks they see so the parents can concentrate on feeding and caring for their chicks. If…
