I heard the first loons today on the lake in my back yard! (Metro MN)
I cannot tell if they are the ones that will live here all summer or if they are headed north as the Lakes open up. But it is always a thrill to hear them and to know that another season of paddling is imminent.
What is your favorite sign of spring?

analyzer: "Robins singing. I'm not close enough to hear the loons.
I like that first warm rain, when you can smell the worms.
Love walking the dog, and the frogs are croaking."
Love hearing the frogs in my pond! Some people think they are annoying. My wife and I love it.

I love that sound too, but can't hear it from my house, have to walk to smaller water.
Lucky!

Had seen loons each time I paddled the St Croix in the last week, but yesterday was paddling home - having sighted zero - when one popped up within ten feet of the canoe. Loon was as surprised as I was and it immediately submerged again.
