Common Loon Presentation in Lyme

Ian Clark shares his documentation of loons for almost a decade!

From the Lyme Conservation Commission’s ListServ post:

The common loon is one northern New England’s iconic animal species. No view of a New Hampshire or Vermont woodland pond or lake is complete without a loon or two in it.

For nearly a decade, wildlife photographer and Newbury, VT resident Ian Clark has been documenting the lives of common loons. Each season from spring to fall, Ian captures the daily activities of common loons parents as they raise their families, share their space with other pond denizens, like beaver and moose, and defend their homes against unwanted intruders like bald eagles or territory seeking loons. All of this is captured against the scenic backdrop of woodland ponds.

You can experience this beauty, drama and action for yourselves when Ian brings his celebrated talk “An Uncommon Look at Common Loons” to the Lyme School cafeteria on Thursday, May 30 beginning at 7:00 pm.

It will be an entertaining, informative and visually pleasing evening.

Admission is free.
