LOONS IN OUR MIDST Come
hear the evocative calls – you’ll feel transported to a northern
lake! Loons are the essence of wilderness. Their haunting calls evoke
images of forested lakes and remote tundra, yet many of these beguiling
creatures are drawn to Camano each year. Which loon species do we host?
Where do they come from? What draws them here? When is the best time
of year to see loons from local beaches? This presentation will answer
these and other loon questions. We’ll focus on which fish species are
preyed on and how
loons catch them (Common Loons can dive to depths of 200 feet!). We’ll also answer the age-old question, “Are loons loony?”
Come hear the evocative calls – you’ll feel transported to a northern lake!
This community program is Wednesday, Nov. 20, 7 p.m. at the Island County Multi-Purpose Center (Blue Building), 141 N East Camano Drive. The Camano Wildlife Habitat Project, sponsored by Friends of Camano Island Parks, hosts public presentations the third Wednesday of the month.
