Forty students from grades 7 to 13 Registrations accepted for Art Gallery summer program Book on loon lore evokes indescribable emotions To be awakened at 3 a.m. to the primeval call of the loon echoing across a moonlit northern lake is an eerie experience not quite a part of the here and now. The lunatic "laugh" of the loon evokes and summons strong human emotions of an indescribable nature. "Love of Loons" one in a series of Voyageur Winderness Books, presents extensive information about the habitat, nesting, fiating and general lore of the aquatic waterfowl, the loon. Iamsinhnbit“‘t-b from coast to coast, nesting primarily ofi'wjn the Northern Lakes. Basically the loonn is @Bhy creature, easily startled and high strung. Besides its beauty and grace, it‘s best known for its high tremolo "laugh". A century ago loons were hunted for sport, they presented a challenge and a jolly chase, only to reward the hunter with tough fare. Loon myths and legends have existed for centuries. North American Indians believed they could predict rain by its cry. Inuits wore severed heads as a talisman. The Cree called it Mookawa, the spirit of the North. Loons were carved on totems and countless legends arose as to how they got their feather patterns and cry. Little wonder the loon remains a creature of mysticism and mystery. In all, there are five species. The one we see an Ontario‘s Northern Lakes is the Common Loon. Despite this name, it is not so common at all. The "song and dance" is perhaps the most unique characteristic that sets the loon apart from other waterfowl. The sound most often heard by humans is the highâ€" pitched call which is really a distress call given in situations that are alarming to the bird. An apâ€" â€"â€"SAVEâ€" SHERMAG GLIDER ROCKERS 3 PC.

The book recounts the story of Rita Herreid who spotted a loon on the lawn beside her $499 dock. Upon closer inspection she discovered fishing line ensnared its legs. She fed it and it remained nearby until September when it swan out into the lake and disappeared. The greatest danger to loons today lies in the chemical brew existing in our Northern Lakes. Food and nesting sources are diminishing and recreation is overdeveloped. Chicks are undernourished, eat algae and die. Lead and mercury poisoning result in sudden death. If this mystical creature is to survive in future years other than sitting mute on our coffeetables or embossed on our coins, we must take measures to control our waste and preserve their natural habitat.
