Rejected loon chick finds welcoming new family in Minnesota

Featured, Home Page News, Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

A baby loon has found a new family after attempts to reunite it with its parents failed because an aggressive sibling repeatedly drove it away.
The Minnesota Loon Rescue Team, based in Brainerd, received a call June 27 about a loon chick that had been beaching itself on Little Carnelian Lake, north of Stillwater. The team rescues loon chicks when they need help. Gail Buhl, a volunteer wildlife rehabilitator with the Minnesota Loon Rescue Team, said the chick had been following kayaks, canoes, and beached itself before the team arrived.

Congratulations to all of the high school trap team members who competed at the national championships, with four Wisconsin high school teams finishing in the top 10 spots in the country. That’s really something.
The Fall Creek team won the national team event – woohoo. I hate to admit this, but I have a heck of a time hitting 15 out of 25 – and 15 might be stretching reality a bit.
