Unraveling Mysteries of the Common LoonWhile common loon breeding populations in the Upper Midwest are generally stable, there is much concern over contaminant exposure and other environmental factors which have a negative effect on their population. Join Kevin Kenow, Research Wildlife Biologist, for a lesson on the Common Loon and the tracking of their migration patterns from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan to their wintering areas. Movement data from radiomarked loons are served on a web site estab-lished to provide project information to partners and the public: (www.umesc.usgs.gov/terrestrial/migratory_birds/loons/migrations.html). In addition, geolocator tags were attached to loons to provide a record of foraging patterns and depth of foraging through-out the year. This work provides valuable information required by resource managers for development and implementation of regional common loon conservation strategies.

Discovery Preschool takes great pride in being able to offer pre-school that truly prepares the whole student for Kindergarten. Our teaching staff participate in the District’s annual student achievement goal setting process as well as the District-wide Curriculum teams to be assured that how we prepare our learners will provide the most benefit with the rest of their academic career at La Crescent-Hokah Public Schools.
