Summary
May 1982 Nature Notes warned that loose dogs could threaten young wildlife and announced a loon watch seeking reports from Beaver Island lakes.
Evidence limits
The column preserves local observations and a public appeal, not population counts, enforcement actions, or a systematic loon census.

- Warns that loose dogs near the harbor could kill young turkeys, snowshoe hares, and fawns; says hare populations are low; and asks readers to report loon sightings from Barney’s Lake, Fox Lake, and other lakes to Ellie Hohn. These are local observations and a conservation appeal, not a wildlife survey or enforcement record.
