• Common Loon Conservation

    Few North American birds evoke the wild and tender feelings that arise when you are in the company of a Common Loon. Tender and devoted parents, fiercely territorial, and artistically patterned, these large birds are one of our most iconic expressions of natural life in the north.

    The return of a stable population of breeding loons in Vermont is an inspirational example of citizens and scientists working together in conservation, and is among VCE's most gratifying accomplishments. Here's how we work on behalf of loons.

    Interested in inviting VCE’s loon biologist to speak at your event, or lead a field outing?
