Protect Your Shoreline With An Itasca Waters Shoreland Advisor

Presented by: Dr. James Paruk, Professor of Biology, St. Joseph’s College, Standish, Maine. James is one of the world’s leading experts on the Common Loon. He has studied breeding and wintering loons across North America for the past 30 years. He recently published a new book on loons that summarizes the state of knowledge about these iconic birds (Loon Lessons: Uncommon Encounters with The Great Northern Diver).

Topic Description: Bald Eagle numbers are increasing, and with that, comes an increase in eagle-loon interactions. Jim will explore these interactions, whether they are having negative population level effects on loons and what, if any, conservation measures can or should be taken.
