The Loons are Back!

By Donna Baker-Hartwell

Happy Spring, Everyone!


  The ice went off Highland Lake on Easter, April 16th. This morning I was able to confirm that “our” pair has returned. They were feeding near “The Point” – the lake end of the channel. Lots of geese, ducks, and an immature bald eagle have been seen, as well.

Within the next few weeks, a new wooden sign or bulletin board will be installed at the public boat ramp. This will provide a place for the posting of official notices. The Highland Lake Protection Association sponsored the making of the sign and post in order to protect the old tree now being used for this purpose. I think the tree will be happy with this!

   If you know of other folks who would like to be included in this group mailing, please pass my email on and I will be happy to add them. I will try to keep up with LOON NEWS as it happens! In the meantime, enjoy this lovely season.
