Enter to win a beautifully hand-crafted Common Loon!

March 24, 2023 By Monica Seidel 21 Comments

Enter a contest to win a beautifully hand-crafted, new quarter size decorative Common Loon carving generously donated to Watersheds Canada by Canadian artist, Mike Reader:

Common loons are an indicator of water quality in a lake. Except for migration and nesting, Common Loon spend their entire lives in the water. As a top predator on the lake, they almost exclusively prey on fish, with adults eating about 2 pounds of fish every day! Breeding pairs of Common Loon are a real treat to see on any Canadian lake, and you can bring this treat home by entering our new contest!

    Thanks Monica….got a confirmation now when I tried again a few times on the form you’ve got embedded.

    Hard to tell if it worked or not as there is no confirmation once you enter the info…it just disappears from screen with no message to say it was sent or received

      Hi Don, so sorry to hear about the problem with the form. You should definitely get a confirmation mention when you fill out the pop-up box as the box will change to remove all of the form fields and say good luck. We have embedded the form within the page now so you can fill in your entry that way.
