Loon Census Form

The 2012 Loon Census will be held on Saturday, July 21st, 2012, between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m.

  1. Record only the FIRST sighting of each loon or group, then be sure to total the number of loons observed on the appropriate line. Note the direction in which the loons move or fly.
  2. If possible, please attach a sketch/map of census area and the location of any loons you observe.
  3. Please comment on loon activity observed at other times during the summer on the reverse of this page.
  4. It is CRITICAL that observations continue for the ENTIRE HOUR.
  5. Remember, a report of zero is just as biologically important as a report of 10 loons

The online census form will be available starting July 21, 2012.
