451 - The Lonely Loon
from Natural Connections Hosted by Emily M Stone
"Look!" Kevin pointed just over my shoulder, where the juvenile loon had popped up moments before. Despite the dangers that still await this bird, they are lucky to have made it through the chick stage. A groundbreaking study from Birds Canada just reported that the number of chicks reaching six weeks of age has declined by an average of 40% across North America. There are many theories on what could be causing the decline in chick survival. There is hope, though. We can live and recreate with care around loons. We all can help make sure this loon doesn't get even more lonely.
