It is growing a little late for this post this season as I have saw loons near our lake property several weeks ago, but better late than never. This site was a recommendation from the woman doing the weather on our local station and I was reminded. It is worth a look each Spring.
Journey North is a great site from the University of Wisconsin focused on seasonal change and migration. It has lesson ideas for educators. I would describe this as a citizen science site collecting and reporting data provided by local observers. I could have submitted my first observation of a loon on our lake and the date the ice was out as data points.
In addition to the website, there is a Facebook page (see image below) so you can receive updates in your Facebook news feed.
Bonus pic – This image was captured with my iPhone at dusk in front of our cabin. I didn’t want to get too close because one loon was on their nest, but it is an interesting shot.
