Welcoming Back Common Loons

The call of the Common Loon is a symbol of the far north. But the species once nested as far south as southern New England, Ohio, Iowa, and California. Human activity and changes to the landscape in these more populated areas has made it harder for loons to persist. There have been encouraging signs in recent years that Common Loons could make a comeback in the southern parts of their range — with our help.

This episode is in memory of Miriam Williams of Seattle, whose sense of humor, love of birds, and support of BirdNote made the world brighter.
