Loon Research Tour - National Loon Center

Description

Join the National Loon Center aboard our pontoon, “The StewardShip,” for a special research program, where we'll document loon territories and sightings across the Whitefish Chain!

From the end of May through mid-August, we'll survey a different lake of the chain each week, documenting nesting success, chick hatching, band resights, and loon behavior. At the end of August through September, the research tours will primarily visit Lower and Upper Whitefish Lakes to search for and observe groups of loons rafting up before the fall migration.

These 3 hour tours are offered once a week on Thursdays from 8:30-11:30am. After the tour, stop by our visitor center, The Nest, to view exhibits, learn about our new facility, and shop some loony merchandise!

YOU MUST MAKE A RESERVATION HERE OR CONTACT THE NATIONAL LOON CENTER.

To learn more about national research programs studying loons and their habitats, please visit: www.nationallooncenter.org/research Because of the longer duration of this program, the minimum recommended age for participants is 14 years old. But if you know a budding young biologist who would enjoy the full program, they are certainly welcome to join!
