Awenda is fortunate to call itself home to a vast diversity of bird species. Kettle’s Lake has consistently received a Common Loon pair for many years, which has prompted the Natural Heritage Education department at the park to begin monitoring their mating patterns and breeding success. Park staff regularly visit Kettle’s Lake to keep track of our Loon pair, and submit the summer’s data to the Canadian Lake Loon Survey.
If you are interested in participating in the Canadian Lakes Loon Survey and monitoring a pair of Loons on your lake, check out Bird Studies Canada to learn more! It is through contributions from people like you that we are able to ensure the well being of birds like the Common Loon on our lakes.
