RESCUED LOON

Despite the amazing rescue and our medical effforts, the juvenile loon featured on KARE11 died. We're not sure why it didn't migrate, but its white blood cells rapidly climbed; showing it was battling an infection, parasite or some type of virus. We sent the loon to a lab for a necropsy. Hopefully the results will help the USFWS and the MNDNR determine why there have been many loon deaths on that lake this year.
