Like Loons?
This fascinating icon of the Adiron-
dacks has much to tell us.
The haunting call of a loon resonates
across Adirondack lakes on summer
evenings – what is it saying?
It has been twenty-five years now
since I first started studying Adiron-
dack loons, initially as a volunteer
helping with loon capture, banding,
and sampling across the Park, then co-
ordinating the field work the following
two years.
This experience has grown ever since
and has now evolved into the Adiron-
dack Center for Loon Conservation,
a dynamic non-profit organization in
Saranac Lake, NY.
With the loon as our centerpiece,
our work is driven by our scientific re-
search and conservation efforts, which
we translate into our educational and
outreach programming to help protect
and support healthy populations of
Common Loons across North America.
Our Adirondack Loon Center, located
at 75 Main Street in Saranac Lake, NY,
is an educational, tourist, and shop-
ping destination for loon-lovers of all
ages.
It fills a unique niche in the Park by
providing an engaging experience for
Adirondack residents, visitors, and stu-
dents to learn about the Park's wildlife
and environmental concerns through
the lives of Common Loons.
