Please pardon our error. The invitation to Lilly to come live on our lake was from us, not Norm as indicated by the name heading. Our e-mail address is grandlake20293@yahoo.com. We see loons on our lake nearly every day now. They like to fish just out from our shore.

Dear Lilly,

We live on a 5600 acre pristine lake in Presque Isle, Michigan. Between April 1 and April 16 of each year, the ice breaks and opens the water to a myriad of migrating waterfowl. Migrations are carefully noted on our calendar. Bufflehead are usually the first to arrive followed by Common and Red-breasted Merganser, Blue wing and Green wing Teal, Lesser and Greater Scaup, Common Goldeneye, Wood ducks and loons. While most of the loons just replenish themselves on fish and move on, several pair stay around to raise their young on our lake. We have seen several floating past our dock in the last week. Hearing their early morning calls is always a treat.

In addition to the migrating waterfowl, we also have Green head mallard, Black mallard, Great blue Heron, Canadian geese, and a pair of nesting bald eagles. Totally awesome.

We are inviting you to live on this beautiful fresh water lake in northern Michigan. We think you will find it to your liking; well stocked with perch, smallmouth bass, walleye, pike, and crayfish. Should anything not meet your satisfaction, Michigan has over 12,000 lakes including the Great Lakes, over 9,000 miles of rivers and it is only a short flight to Canada whose shore can be seen from an aerial view on a clear day.

PLEASE COME!

It looks like you need a ” tip ” jar. If there is a way to donate to a transportation fund let me know, I would like to help.

Norm,
Tim and Jill here. Please let us know if we can help pay for the loon’s transportation to reach his destination, but we respectively request and would love a video of the loon being released back into the wild. We both have an attachment to this loon and feel responsible for its well being.
Please let us know what we can do to help get the loon home.

Sometimes loons come to the lake my parents live on in northern Michigan. They live in Presque Isle. I can see if they would be interested in releasing her onto Grand Lake.

There is NOTHING like a family of loons talking to each other. It is one thing I miss about Maine. I sent you a link to a Vet in Maine that may be able to help. I hope so.
