Fishing the Lakes have seen Pelicans and Sea Gulls. Was fishing the other day and seen a Loon.
Didn't know they came here but seems they do.

They are migrating, from south to north, they won't stay around near you they will head to the upper parts of the US and lower Canada. You ain't heard nothing until you are laying in bed in the still of the night and a Loon sounds off, haunting.

Seems like more and more creatures are moving south.

Loons always winter in the south since they depend on open water. That's especially true since they are virtually unable to take off from land. Winter plumage lacks the well-known white "scales" and are rather drab. Under that condition they are often mistaken for grebes.

Here I consider us South but where I seen the Loon we have Musky. Moose have been almost here but we still have Armadillos, Road Runners and raise Cotton and Peanuts.

Loons favor coastal waters for wintering so their South would be Texas around to the Carolinas. One seen in Missouri or anywhere between here and the Gulf at this time would just be touching down for a snack. Even lakes here are just a rest stop and seldom seen.
