By Blackduck Ranger District

Each year, area lakes on the Chippewa National For-est have become “home sweet home” to families of Gavia immer, the common loon. There is nothing quite remi-niscent of the spirit of the northern lakes as the call of the loon. The survival of loons has always been hard. Typically only two eggs are laid in a nest that is vulnerable to natural predators (dogs, fox, mink, gulls, eagles and more) and wave action (storms and motor boats). Loon chicks that successfully hatch from the eggs often fall victim to predators or their own aggres-

sive siblings. Loss of suitable shoreline habitat adds to the challenge for nesting pairs. To help preserve the loon as a “seasonal resident” employ-ees on the Blackduck Ranger District installed four differ-ent loon nesting platforms on Webster, Rabideau and Noma lakes. The loon platforms were constructed of cedar 4x4 posts, rigid foam (for aiding in floatation) and hardware cloth. The platforms were then filled with native nesting vegetation and anchored off shore using two cinder blocks with rope. This off shore placement helps to stem pre-dation of the eggs and young loons. Typical onshore land

Loons find home sweet home Legion Memorial Day program

An unforgettable Memorial Day Program was held at the Cass Lake American Legion and surrounding cemeteries. The Community Choir, accompanied by Wayne Hoff, provided patriotic music while Frank Homer was the key note speaker. Other ac-tivities included a POW Ceremony provided by Mike Kornezos and Boy Scout Dillon Cleveland and a Poppy Drop Memorial Ceremony carried out by Millie Baird and the Boy Scouts for Post and Auxiliary #284 members who lost their lives this past year. The Honor Guard visited five area cemeteries and the wayside rest, giving tribute to those veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice. The American Legion and Auxiliary 284 wishes to thank all who attended and participated in the program to make sure our veterans did not die in vain, and that they will not be forgotten. Thank you to all veterans both living and deceased. We honor you.

predators include: raccoon, skunk and fox. These raft type structures are also used as loafing islands by ducks, geese and turtles. Employees have seen multiple loon nest-ing pairs utilizing the rafts over the years and have made their placement an annual event. The structures are built in the off season and placed out early spring right after ice off. The rafts are pulled ashore in the fall. When spring arrives, the platforms will once again be home sweet home to the common loon. The Minnesota legislature voted in 1961 to designate the loon as the MN state bird.

celebrate another unique form of music. This free Legacy Program is funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s art and cultural heritage.
