Loon Nesting Surprises on a Small Wisconsin Ranch
A Trusty ranch near a dammed creek hosts a family of loons nesting for four years despite modest ponds. From 200 yards, the scene shows gray black and white parents with a juvenile, occasional tremolo calls, and a calm, undisturbed domestic life. Nearby swallows thrive around bird houses and a moved old Ogema railroad depot now serves as cliff swallow nesting sites. J.F. from Neillsville requests participation in bird counts. spring projects are concluded, with future opportunities to be announced.

Northwest observations vary, but broader trends indicate a possible statewide decline in the ruffed grouse population.
