Duck Migration Underway!


About mid-November of each year, the fall duck migration is well under way.

These Hooded Mergansers are but three of a large flock that stopped on Loon Lake for a couple of days to rest.

Other breeds typically seen are Common Merganser; Common Goldeneye; Bufflehead; Black Duck; and Mallard.

The flocks can be quite large and while some ducks are seen in Stump Lake, the majority of birds tend to spend their time on the lake.
