Artificial Nesting Platforms in Minnesota Help Restore Injured Loons
When common loons returned this year to their Minnesota freshwater lakes for the summer breeding season, some of them found new homes waiting: artificial nesting platforms to help boost breeding success. These nesting platforms are provided by the Open Ocean Trustees’ Restoration of Common Loons in Minnesota project. This project addresses some of the injury to common loons caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
