LOON WEEK!

What a week. 5 days of near perfect weather at the first of March studying winter loon behavior with loon biologist extraordinaire Dr. Jay Mager, ten very eager loon lovers, and professional staff from three loon conservation organizations from breeding lakes in the northern states. Six long, slow hours each day watching loons in the midst of their winter molt into breeding plumage. The weather was accommodating. Chilly most days but not uncomfortable. Some wind, but not too much. Sound just about perfect? You’re right. It was. In another week we’ll spend another five days of immersion into the phenomenon of spring loon migration. What a spectacular month March is here around here. ~B
