“Above came a swiftwhisper of wings, and as theloons saw us they calledwildly in alarm and tookthe laughing with them intothe gathering dusk. Theshores echoed and re-echoeduntil they seemed to throbwith music. This was thesymbol of the lake country,the sound that more thanany other typifies the rocksand waters and forests ofthe wilderness.”

“Listening Point”--Sigurd Olson

If you are looking for thebest place in Wisconsin tohear the wild calls of thecommon loon, it can befound in Vilas, Oneida, Ironand Forest counties.

Volunteers with Proj ectLoon Watch say the latestpopulation survey, done in2010, showed that up to30% of the state’s loon pop-ulation resided on lakes inthese four counties — anarea blessed with the heav-iest concentration of clean,fishable lakes in Wisconsin.

It is these lakes that notonly attract tens of thou-sands of fishermen and va-cationers each year, but alsoone of nature’s top fish-catchers — the commonloon.

Loons once nested onlakes all over Wisconsin,but now are mostly confinedto the upper third of thestate, especially Vilas, Onei-da, Iron and Bayfield coun-ties. Out of the four loonspecies, the common loon isthe only one that nests inWisconsin.

In 2010, volunteers withProject Loon Watch esti-mated the state’s popula-tion at approximately 4,000adult loons — up from theestimate of 3,3733 adultloons in 2005.

Erica LeMoine, coordina-tor of Project Loon Watch atthe Sigurd Olson Environ-mental Institute at North-land College in Ashland,said the estimated numberof loon chicks was 600 dur-ing the sixth WisconsinLoon Population Survey onJuly 17, 2010.

“Thus, 2010 had the

largest adult loon popula-tion estimate since the sur-vey (held every five years)started in 1985,” saidLeMoine.

Past research on wherepairs of loons nested found55% of lakes of more than20 acres in Vilas Countyhad at least one pair. Onei-da County also was found tohave about 65% of its lakespopulated with loons.

Often referred to as alasting symbol of thewilderness, the powerful,streamlined birds are easilyidentified with their black-and-white checkerboardplumage. Baby loons, whichhatch in June, don’t havethe distinctive markings,but will often accompanytheir parents.

The loon is holding itsown in what remains of itsWisconsin habitat, but thatdoesn’t mean there are noproblems. People, mostly

well-meaning, harass thebirds, and shoreline devel-opment continues to elimi-nate nesting habitat.

One of the major causesin the reduction in breedingsites is that loon nests havebeen gradually replaced bycottages on the inland lakesin Wisconsin. Other shore-line development has fur-ther blocked areas formerlyused as nesting sites. Be-cause the loon needs to nestvery close to the water’sedge, as more shoreline isdeveloped, more birds aredisplaced.

The loon is not built forwalking or even standing;its feet are set too far backon its body, forcing it tobuild nests close to the edgeof the water where they arevulnerable to boat wakesand changes in water level.

For the moment, though,harassment seems to be thebiggest problem. People like

to look at loons close up, inthe water or on their nests.Young loons may be killedby boaters, and adults maybe frightened off the nest ata critical time.

Frightening a loon toleave its nest reduces thechance of the eggs hatching,as well as making them vul-nerable to predators.

Officials of Sigurd OlsonEnvironmental Instituteask people to take an extrastep and talk to those whoget too close to a nestingsite with a large boat, or thewell-intentioned photogra-pher who wants to shoot apicture of nesting adultswith their young. Officialsurge hobbyists to use high-powered zoom lenses.

Harassment of the loonmay result in the separa-tion of young and parent.Once that happens, theyoung may die of fatigue orexposure or may be killed

by predators.Whenever possible,

those wanting to get a clos-er look at the North’s birdshould use binoculars or aspotting scope to make ob-servations, according to offi-cials.

Loon RangersFor the past 34 years,

Loon Watch has engaged anactive volunteer network of“Loon Rangers” as its pri-mary tool to collect criticallong-term data on loons innorthern Wisconsin.

Volunteers attend aLoon Ranger Workshop inthe spring to learn how tomonitor loons, to hearwhat’s new in the world ofloon research, and to meetother loon enthusiasts.

Throughout summer,Loon Rangers watch loonson a lake where they live,vacation, or visit often.They record when loons ar-

rive, if they nested, howmany chicks were pro-duced, and any potentialthreats to the nest site.

In fall, data is sent toLoon Watch where it is en-tered into the DNRdatabase and available formanagement decision-mak-ing. Loon Rangers also helpprotect loons by spreadingthe word to their neighborsand other lake users tosteer clear of loons on nestsand on the water.

Call of the wildThe loon yodeling on a

Wisconsin lake this sum-mer might be the same onethat was there 20 years ago.The birds are said to have alife expectancy of 15 to 25years, and return to thesame body of water yearafter year.

The familiar calls of theloon that keep anglers com-pany on many North Woodslakes have been brokendown into four classifica-tions.

The wail is probably themost frequently heard. Aloon will wail when it be-comes separated from thechick or if its mate fails toreturn.

The tremolo is an ag-gressive response givenwhen disturbed by a boat orpredator.

The yodel is also an ex-pression of aggression andis given by the male duringa confrontation.

The hoot symbolizes acall of curiosity and happi-ness.

Loons feed primarily onfish, frogs, crayfish, mus-sels, leeches and aquatic in-sects. By the end of sum-mer, the young fledglingsare capable of feeding them-selves. The loon’s favoritefood is the yellow perch.

In late autumn, loonscan be seen congregating onlarge lakes, ready to flysouth for the winter —somewhere along the south-ern Atlantic or Gulf coasts.

Fortunately, residentsand visitors to the NorthWoods are able to enjoy thebeauty and calls of loonseach summer.

What makes a great-tasting pizza every time?What makes a great

pizza? Tradition. The oldways still work, and allgood cooking starts withthe basics.

Quality food starts withthe ingredients. Only thefinest ingredients shouldbe used, starting from thebottom up, to ensure sat-isfied customers whocome back time after timefor the best pizza around.

The first ingredient forany pizza is dough. Itshould be made with flourthat is high gluten, thehighest quality flour,Amber Durham wheat —the finest of all wheats,cane sugar and only thebest yeast. It must bemade fresh, never frozen.The dough should then bethrice raised, which takes36 hours. This ensures thebest dough possible.

Pear tomato puree isthe main ingredient forthe next layer, the sauce.Pear tomatoes are one ofthe best on the market be-cause they contain themaximum of tomatosolids. The best of domes-tic and imported spiceswould then be blended tocreate a uniquely superbsauce with a savory taste.

In Wisconsin, cheese is avery important ingredientfor pizza. All the cheeseused should be 100% Wis-consin full cream moz-

zarella, without one gramof artificial cheese, for thefullest flavor.

A superb pizza alsocontains the best meat.The sausage should be100% meat, 90% leanwhole hog, blended withthe finest spices for adelectable taste sure toplease even the most dis-criminating of palates.

The pepperoni shouldalso be 100% meat, 90%lean, aged to perfection toenhance the flavor, sureto please all pepperonilovers.

Other toppings avail-able must also be highquality. Only the bestonions should be used, in-cluding Vadalia, WallaWalla, Texas 10/15, andsweet red Bermudaonions. These create amouthwatering additionto any pizza.

Green peppers must bemixed slightly with thesweetest red bell peppersfor an appetizing way toliven up a pizza.

California black olivesalso add a savory taste.

For a wild appetite,sweet succulent pineap-ple, crispy vitamin-richbroccoli, tender flaky solidwhite albacore, or lusciousshrimp could be added.

Guides to offerfishing tips


More than 38 years ago,two brothers came to theNorth Woods seeking sum-mer jobs. Rooted in a strongItalian community inChicago, pizza was the sta-ple at home and at college.

Seeing a lack of pizze-rias in the area, the broth-ers realized a great oppor-tunity existed, and openedtheir own pizzeria in EagleRiver.

Sources say the locals atthe time looked down onthem and called thembrash boys from “Chitown.”Today, the pizzeria has be-come a landmark.

Customers come from allover the country to tastethe best pizza in the area.

Even celebrities havevisited Alexander’s on occa-sion, including professionalfootball players; headcoaches from the NFL,NBA and NCAA; hockeyplayers; movie stars; movie

critics; national sports com-mentators; leaders of U.S.industries; newscasters;and authors. A visiting filmcritic even gave Alexander’sa “thumbs up.”

Although the businessopened many years ago,one thing remains the same— the traditional method ofmaking pizza at Alexan-der’s.

The pizza is made theway Grandma Del Cristosaid — use the best tomake the best.

The ingredients usedare only the finest, whichthe owners ensure. Thecheese used is 100% full-cream mozzarella, which isstraight from the mostaward-winning dairy inWisconsin, along with 9-month-aged Romano.

The soul of a pizza is thecrust, which is made withhigh-gluten flour. Addingflavor to the pizza is the

thick, rich sauce createdfrom tomato puree frompear tomatoes — the meati-est of tomatoes.

The meat also is verylean, at 90% lean meat,with no soy fillers.

For the more adventur-ous pizza connoisseurs,Alexander’s offers broccoli,shrimp, albacore andpineapple to create originalgourmet pizzas.

Diners also can try a de-licious oven-roasted cheesebread appetizer — one-halfloaf of freshly bakedFrench bread, basted withbutter, seasoned with garlicand aged Romano, coveredwith mozzarella, roasted toa honey-golden brown andlightly sprinkled withoregano.

As one would say in Ital-ian, “Qui si mangia semprebene!” (Here one alwayseats well!)

Employees at Alexan-der’s Pizza have hailedfrom various cities andcountries around the globe.

Exchange students fromHungary, England, Spain,Scotland, Lithuania, Ja-maica, Poland, Belarus andthe Czech Republic havemade the trip across the At-lantic to work at Alexan-der’s Pizza.

Alexander’s success isdue to the quality put intoeach pizza. The dough ishomemade and triple-raised while the crusts arerolled with care. The deli-cious taste of fresh butter isfound in every bite of crust

as well.Although the brothers

have experimented withhigh-tech, cost- and labor-saving methods, the pizza-making method at Alexan-der’s remains traditional.At Alexander’s, the pizza is

cooked on a 150-poundstone deck.

Pizza is not the onlyitem on the menu madewith care and dedication.Savory sandwiches aremade to order with toastedFrench bread, creamy moz-zarella, California tomatosauce and your choice ofham, Italian sausage ormeatballs, and any of yourfavorite pizza toppings.

To entertain diners of allages, Alexander’s has a fullassortment of arcadegames, such as pinball ma-chines, video games andseveral pool and foosball ta-bles. It’s a great place tohost birthday parties for allages.

Alexander’s Pizza,housed in a turn-of-the-century remodeled build-ing, is located in downtownEagle River on RailroadStreet.

Parking is availableacross the street. Cus-tomers can dine in or carryout, and can call ahead tohave the pizza ready whenthey arrive.

Tradition, customer ser-vice and fun can always befound at Alexander’s Pizza.Alexander’s does not acceptcredit or debit cards. Toenjoy the “best pizza in theNorth,” call (715) 479-7363.

“When I go to Lick-a-deeSplitz, I feel like dancing!”That’s how one young pa-tron described his experi-ence at the Three Lakes icecream shop.

“To me,” said ownerDenise Kerns, “that speaksas highly of us as a five-starreview. Our top-qualityproducts make me proud,but the staff and the atmo-sphere are what it’s reallyall about.”

At Lick-a-dee Splitz inthe heart of downtownThree Lakes, every cus-tomer is greeted with asmile and a genuine desireto make each trip a happymemory. From the musicplayed to the cheerful,unique décor and the friend-ly staff, everything at Lick-a-dee Splitz says, “Goodtimes happen here!”

To quench any thirst, trythe fresh-squeezed lemon-ade, an all-natural fruitsmoothie or one of the clas-sic glass-bottled soft drinks.

Up for a challenge? Thenthe Bidonkadonk is for you!This massive sundae, com-prised of 12 scoops of icecream and four toppingsplus whipped cream, nutsand cherries was originallyintended as a family-sizedtreat, but each year dozensof people of all ages conquerthe giant treat on their own.

“I don’t recommend it,”said Kerns, “but it’s like aproverbial frozen mountainthat some feel compelled toclimb just because it’sthere!”

Everyone who eats aBidonkadonk, whetheralone or in a group, getstheir picture taken andposted on the electronic“Frame of Fame” displayedin the store, as well as onthe Lick-a-dee Splitz Face-book page.
