We will again coordinate the Adirondack Loon Census in the St. Regis Canoe Area for the Adirondack Cooperative Loon Project from 8–9 a.m. on Saturday July 19, 2008. We put as many people on ponds to watch for loons as we can muster. Volunteers interested in going for a paddle on a Saturday morning are welcome. There is a simple reporting form to fill out. Everyone is invited back to MAC’S Canoe Livery for coffee and a muffin after the census. Please register for a pond by calling Grace at 891 – 2744.
The Adirondack Cooperative Loon Program (ACLP) is a collaborative research and education effort studying the natural history of the Common Loon (Gavia immer) and the effects of contaminants and human interactions on the loon population in the Adirondack Park. ACLP evolved from loon contaminant research conducted by the Northeast Loon Study Workgroup in the Park from 1998-2000. ACLP was initiated in the spring of 2001 to further expand upon this work. The ACLP is a partnership of the Wildlife Conservation Society, Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks, NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation, BioDiversity Research Institute, and the Audubon Society of New York State, Inc.
