Learning About the Loon...

Wargo Nature Center came to visit and teach us about our MN state bird... the LOON!
We learned that the word "loon" actually means "clumsy". This is probably because loons' legs are attached at the very back of their body, making it difficult for them to walk on land! We also learned that loons are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for up to TEN minutes! See the picture of all of us attempting to hold our breath for just ONE minute! Thanks, Wargo!
