I picked these topics because I think they are very important to Minnesota. Loons I picked the common loon for one of my topics because it's the Minnesota state bird. Male and female loons often look the same. The male and female come to the same nesting grounds year after year, but the babies never come back to where they are born because their parents would be there already.
Loons often mate in the spring.
They usually lay up to two eggs that hatch up to a month after they are laid. Both the male and female sit on the eggs to make them hatch. The loon egg color is olive brown. When a human gets to close to a loon the loon starts to do the penguin dance, but if the loon does the dance too long it will die of exhaustion. The loon has a very hard time walking on land because it's legs are by his tail way far behind.
