We’re not alone up here
Once the gun deer season is over, I find myself unclenching when I drive – just a bit. I think we all get a false sense of security that we don’t have to watch for deer on the roadside as vigorously at that point. But then you see your first deer and find yourself pondering …

The iconic fishing lakes like Yellow Lake, Clam Lake and Big McKenzie Lake are popular destination lakes for fishing. But our smaller less known lakes support a good fish population as well.

Recently, we were boating with friends and came upon an adult loon with a loon chick on its back. It was incredible how close we were able to get to them! After 20 years of watching the loons on our lake, I’d only seen this “piggyback” ride in pictures, not in person. This kind of …
Amidst all the road construction clattering right outside the doors at our CENTURY 21 Sand County Services office in Siren, this black bear felt at ease sauntering through our parking lot and yard. Although we’ve already had many black bear sightings this year, it was kind of incredible to look up and have one wandering …
This beautiful “bug” was spotted on the deck at our office and drew a lot of attention. It’s a Giant Leopard Moth with a 3 inch wing span. Underneath this stunning black and white facade is an equally striking color story – a bright blue body with reddish-orange bands! We had to ask ourselves …
