Setting
Description
Each year, the Loon Preservation Committee hosts an annual Loon Census to monitor New Hampshire's loons and their progress on lakes throughout the state. No pre-registration is required for the annual census (which usually takes place in mid-July). Visit program website for date, contact information, and downloadable census forms.
Project Goal?
The invaluable data is a mid-season check on productivity, a mechanism for discovering unknown birds in each territory, a means to track movement of loons and define relationships between neighboring pairs, and a community based tool for generating interest and involvement in loons.

Lakes across NH.

During the 2023 census on July 15th!
Is training needed to participate?
