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. I’m not disclosing the location to protect the privacy of the loon. However, if you do know about the nest or stumble across it please be advised that the Loon Preservation Society suggests that people stay 150 feet from all loons, whether on a nest, with chicks or even resting…

Keep Watchful Eye Out for New Loon Chicks
MOULTONBOROUGH — This year due to an early ice-out and record warm temperatures, many loons began nesting earlier than in previous years. As a result more chicks will be on the lakes during the busy Fourth of July week, making them more vulnerable to disturbance as human activity increases on the lakes. 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…
First Round of Water Testing Conducted on June 16
Thanks to the efforts of Lake Winona residents Linda and Mark Heminway and Ted Saia, the first round of water quality testing is complete.
