Website for Tracking Loons

A website was listed in the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine for tracking loons in central Minnesota and Wisconsin.  It tracks loons who were implanted with satellite transmitters in July to follow their movements south this Fall.  They are now in their wintering areas.  Check out the migrations on the site to see where the loons are and the path each loon took:

Enjoy the site as you await the return of the loons next Spring!
