The Wild Center Presents: Are Loons on Thin Ice?
A loon sets sail on the pristine waters of Indian Lake.
Join Denise Silfee from the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation (ACLC) for an enlightening presentation at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY.
Like many species, climate change has affected common loon populations. Over the past two decades, Adirondack loons have faced increasing nest failures and disruptions in migration patterns due to climate change.
The ACLC’s presentation, titled “Are Loons on Thin Ice with Climate Change?” will provide an overview of how climate change is impacting Adirondack loons, as well as insights into loon behavior and natural history.

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

During our discussion, we covered findings from ongoing loon research, insights from the annual Loon Census, and the surprising challenges posed by lead tackle, climate change, and shoreline development.
