SUMMARY:Event Full: The State of Maine Loons
DESCRIPTION:**** This event is full. Please consider joining us for another program. **** Join us for an engaging presentation by Nick Lund\, Maine Audubon’s Network and Outreach Manager\, as we explore the fascinating world of the Common Loon. A Maine native and renowned birder\, Nick is well-known for his entertaining and insightful writing in publications like Audubon\, Slate\, Down East\, and National Geographic\, as well as his popular online presence at “The Birdist.” \nThe Common Loon\, with its haunting calls and striking appearance\, is a symbol of Maine summers. But how much do you really know about this iconic bird? Do loons migrate? What do they eat? How long do they live? Why are they important\, and how many are there? \nIn this program\, Nick will take an in-depth look at the physiology and habits of the Common Loon\, revealing how its unique body is perfectly adapted for underwater hunting and the seasonal rhythms that bring it to Maine’s lakes. He will also discuss the threats loons face and the ongoing efforts to protect them. \nFor more than 35 years\, Maine Audubon has been a leader in studying loon populations\, identifying causes of loon mortality\, and advocating for policies to ensure their survival. Come learn how these efforts help preserve the loon’s place in Maine’s natural heritage\, ensuring that their calls continue to echo across our lakes for generations to come. \n

SUMMARY:Story Trail: Snowflake Bentley (Extended)
DESCRIPTION:Read a family friendly book while walking through the winter woods. Follow the illustrated signs along the trail as they tell a tale that connects you to your natural surroundings. The free 1 mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed at your own pace and on your own time.

His enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood in his time\, but his patience and determination revealed two important truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and each one is startlingly beautiful.
