Did you know that the protected islands and bays within Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park are the site of one of the most important breeding areas for Common Loon on the Great Lakes? Loons need large lakes like Lake Superior to accommodate powerful diving and lengthy takeoffs. In September, loon parents fly off to warmer areas of the country, leaving their three-month old chicks to make the instinctive journey on their own.
We visit Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park just before Common Loons make their way south for the winter. Visit our website to learn more about our tours in Michigan’s largest wilderness area.
