Many of us grew up hearing the mystical wail of the Common Loon across lakes and ponds in New England (or maybe as far away as Montana!) But how many of us know about the lifecycle of the common loon, the threats it faces, and how conservation organizations throughout North America have been working to help them? Come learn about Common Loons, a waterbird that calls Maine’s lakes, ponds, rivers, and coastline home. Find out why conservation work is so important for these species, and how we can best live in loon territory.
