ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Three articles summarizing research on Adirondack loons have been published in a special issue of the scientific journal Waterbirds dedicated to loon research and conservation in North America.
The Adirondack loon research was conducted by the Biodiversity Research Institute and the Wildlife Conservation Society in collaboration with the state Department of Environmental Conservation and other partners.
Nina Schoch, coordinator of the Biodiversity Research Institute’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation, says the special issue of Waterbirds includes 15 scientific papers on loons.
The Adirondack studies look at impacts of mercury contamination and lakeshore development on loons.
