   Mark your calendar for GIVE TO THE MAX DAY 2026!

The big day is November 18, but you can donate as early as November 1st. 

   Please consider supporting THE LOON PROJECT, a worthy charity for Loon research focused on long-term scientific investigation of territoriality, breeding ecology, and population dynamics of common loons in the Upper Midwest.

   With Common Loon populations declining across America and Canada, your support is crucial to understanding the causes and finding ways to ensure loons continue returning to our lakes each spring.
