Loon Census

The 2024 Loon Census will be held Saturday, July 20th from 8-9 am.

Each year, LPC hosts an annual Loon Census to monitor New Hampshire’s loons and their progress on lakes throughout the state. The invaluable data gathered from census observations are used as:

1. a mid-season check on productivity,
2. a mechanism for discovering unknown birds in each territory,
3. a means to track movement of loons and define relationships between neighboring pairs, and
4. a community based tool for generating interest and involvement in loons.

To Submit census data, please use our online form or print a physical copy and mail it to:

Loon Preservation Committee, Attn Caroline Hughes

PO Box 604

Moultonborough NH 03254.

To contribute observations at other times during the loon season, please see our Field Volunteer page here.

Join us at the Loon Center after the Census, from 10 AM—2 PM for the Annual Loon Festival!

Loon Census forms will be posted here by June 2024—please check back then!
