Loon Program on Friday April 27, 2007 7 pm
Judith McIntyre PhD, who’s been studying loons for forty years,
will be give a free program about “Loons” Friday, April 27 at 7 pm
at the Kirkland Town Library in Clinton NY. The event is sponsored
by Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife (BWW), an educational nonprofit.
Dr. McIntyre wrote The Common Loon, Spirit of Northern Lakes, a very
readable classic with great photos. She took many of the evocative
shots in the book and will show slides during her talk. She says of
her April program: “I shall provide an overview of the loon family
including geographical distribution, vocalizations, and of course,
pictures….” She’ll also tell about her 30-year study on the
Adirondack lake with the largest number of loons in New York, mention
the most pressing concerns for loons, and give some encouraging signs
over the last few decades.
After the 1989 Exxon oil spill, Dr. McIntyre spent two summers in
Alaska checking the status of the rare yellow-billed loon. She has
also studied loons in Saskatchewan, Nevada, and at Chincoteague and
Assateague Islands in Virginia. Last year she was featured in the PBS
television documentary “Call of the Loon.”
She earned her PhD from the University of Minnesota and studied loons
in that state for ten years. For the last thirty years Dr. McIntyre’s
major research site has been Stillwater Reservoir. She also taught at
Utica College, where she received a Distinguished Teaching Award.
This program will be in the Bristol Room of the Kirkland Town
Library (551/2 College St., Clinton NY) with brief BWW elections
first and refreshments served. For more information please call
315/853-4147 or 518/568-2077.
