Annual Loon Census Lake Selection Table

Thank you for your interest in volunteering as a loon census observer! Please use this document to choose a lake to survey.

To prevent duplicate observations, lakes will be assigned to census observers on a first‐come, first‐served basis. We assume that census observers will return to the same lake surveyed last year.

If you are a past observer, please contact us if you want to change lakes, confirm your participation in this year’s census, let us know that you cannot return this year, or give us a new email or mailing address.

If you are a new observer, please contact us and be prepared to let us know your name, email or address, and phone number, as well as the lake that you are interested in surveying (including county and town.)

You can reach us by phone at (518)891‐8874, ext.106 or you can email [email protected].

To choose a lake to census:

1. We encourage observers to select a lake from the list of available Random Lakes (the first table in this document.) Information from these pre‐selected lakes allows WCS to use statistical techniques to better estimate the number of common loons in Adirondack Park. Please contact us to let us know which Random Lake you have selected. 2. If you want to survey a lake that is not an available Random Lake, check and see whether it’s been assigned to someone else (in the Assigned Lake list.) 3. If the lake you’re interested in has been assigned to someone else, please select a different lake. 4. If it has not been assigned to someone else, contact us to let us know you would like to survey it this year. Please let us know the lake name, county, and town.

Note: Census observers are responsible for ensuring lake access ‐‐ if the lake is privately owned, please obtain the landowner’s permission before selecting it!

Lake George and St. Lawrence River: Due to the size of Lake George and the St. Lawrence River, we enlist help for the loon census from the Thousand Islands Land Trust and the Lake George Association. If you would like to count loons on a section of the St. Lawrence River, please contact [email protected] at the Thousand Islands Land Trust. If you would like to count loons on a part of Lake George, please contact Kristen Wilde ([email protected]) at the Lake George Association.

The Annual Loon Census is a project of the Wildlife Conservation Society Adirondack Program and is conducted in partnership with the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation.
