I search for location information for my work.  I have to find addresses in Minnesota, where they don't believe in addresses.  But I ran across this paragraph, which has enormous pun potential.

loon population stable; volunteers are needed

The loon population in Minnesota has remained stable during the last ten years, according to a report released by the Minnesota DNR.  The project, which summarizes observations submitted by hundreds of dedicated volunteers who counted loons on 600 lakes, is used by the DNR's Nongame Wildlife Program as an early warning system for detecting changes in the number of loons.

           

The project's report is available online: www.dnr.state.mn.us/ecological_services/nongame/projects/

mlmp_state.html .

           

Minnesota's common loon population is stable in both number of adults and number of juveniles observed on study lakes.  In order to maintain the loon monitoring program's effectiveness, the nongame wildlife program is seeking volunteers to survey loons on designated lakes in Kandiyohi,

"So, what type of loon do you consider yourself?"

"I ain't no common loon, that's for sure." *checks fish radar*
