Understanding Loons

A presentation by the Loon Preservation Committee.

For many, the haunting call of the loon is an important part of the NH lake experience. Often seen as a symbol of the northern wilderness, loons are a beloved fixture on NH lakes, and many lake go-ers 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 human-caused, while on our lakes. This presentation will focus on the biology and life history of loons, the threats that loons face, and the work that the Loon Preservation Committee has performed  since 1975 to help recover NH’s threatened loon population.
