Signs of the Season

Lakefront living offers some very special ways to mark the changing seasons, but for me there is nothing more spectacular than the annual return of our beloved loons each spring. What is most amazing to us is the timing of their return to the lake. Regardless of when the ice is officially out, the loons return within 24 hours and on a least two years of our tracking such events they returned within hours of ice out.

Seeing these magnificent birds and hearing their truly unique calls signifies summer is back.....even if it’s April 11th, which is when it happened for us this year, exactly the same day as ice out!

Yours for Lakefront Living,
