Loons at Happy Outlook Point

Loon are endangered in Michigan and there are less than 200 pairs. Loons are the oldest of birds being traced back to over 100 million years, dinosaur times. We have seen up to 12 pairs on Lake Ann, this represents 5% of the remaining population in the state.  They are the only birds with solid bones which allows them to dive deep.

 Stay 300′ away from them.  Federal Law is a $1,000 fine for harassing loons. 

Please by all means educate your family members and guests to respect these awesome endangered birds.   Stay away from them while skiing, wake boarding, jet skiing and high speed boating. They may pop up next to you while canoeing or kayaking enjoy the moment.
