Presentation: Are Loons on Thin Ice with Climate Change?

Join Denise Silfee from the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation (ACLC) for an enlightening presentation at the Adirondack History Museum in Elizabethtown, NY.
Like many species, common loon populations have been impacted by climate change. Over the last two decades, Adirondack loons have experienced increasing nest failure and migration disruption due to climate change.
The ACLC’s presentation, “Are Loons on Thin Ice with Climate Change?” provides an overview of how climate change is impacting Adirondack loons, as well as information about loon behavior and natural history.

Denise is the Director of Education and Communications of the ACLC. She has graduate degrees in education and journalism with a focus on science and environmental communications.

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming back Denise Silfee to the ADK Talks podcast. The episode, entitled “Loons, Lakes & Lessons: A Conservation Conversation,” covered several critical topics related to loons in the Adirondacks.
Among the topics we discussed were findings from ongoing loon research, insights from the annual Loon Census, and the surprising challenges of lead tackle, climate change, and shoreline development.
