For many, the haunting call of the loon is an important part of the New Hampshire lake experience. Often seen as a symbol of the northern wilderness, loons are a beloved fixture on New Hampshire lakes, and many lakegoers enjoy watching them as they raise their young. However, the breeding season can be a vulnerable time for loons—they face many threats, both natural and anthropogenic, while on our lakes. This presentation will focus on the biology and life history of loons, the threats that loons face while on our lakes, and the work that the Loon Preservation Committee’s staff and volunteers have performed  since 1975 to help recover New Hampshire’s threatened loon population.

This presentation will be held on June 16th, 2022 from 6:30–7:30 PM at the James A. Tuttle Library in Antrim NH. We hope to see you there!
