Staying in place in Minnesota. Working on Bird Academy Classes and ebird lists. I love the loons and they are returning to Minnesota for the spring & summer. Listening to their call in the evenings from across the lake is a reminder life is good. Picture is from a lake where the young loons gather as a group before leaving for Florida and the gulf coast for the winter.  Normally there are only a couple of pairs on the lake but in the Fall the young birds (25+) gather here, from other lakes in the area, before leaving together.
