Common Loon
Today we went to Rock Cut State Park. When we got there we saw 10 Common Loons! One of them got really close to the shore line. It started to snow hard and it was really windy. Pretty bad birding weather but we still went and had a good time.

Unbelievably we saw someone grilling out (and it was only 8:00 AM)! My Mom would never let me have a cookout in the snow but it could be fun.

- American Coot

Hi Dakota! I am originally from DeKalb County. I had no idea that loons visited Rock Cut. You have a great blog. Keep it up!
I love seeing the loons up close like that! Great post and will add you here soon!
