familiar sight for vacationers at
Voyagaire. A houseboat guest from Fergus
Falls, MN snapped this great
shot of "the pinch" - a narrow
passageway between Crane Lake and Sand Point
Lake. Thanks for sharing this beautiful

The
Loon Low- Down
|
|
Here
in beautiful Voyageurs Nat'l Park, one of the
animals you can often see is Minnesota's state
bird, the loon. One of our
recent guests was lucky enough
to photograph this one sitting
on its nest. In June and
early July, loon chicks can be
seen riding on their parents'
back. This provides protection
from hungry snapping turtles
and Northern Pike.
