Summary

The Beaver Island Wildlife Club reported that fawns, including triplets, were being seen across the Island and cautioned residents not to remove apparently alone fawns unless an actual orphan was confirmed. It also reported that a spring turkey release had spread across the Island and that loons were nesting on Fox, Font, and Barney’s lakes.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper stewardship and observation report, not a population survey. Its advice and sightings are bounded by the August 1995 article.
