2012 Loon Count Results

Note: Since the Maine Loon Count is a “snapshot” of adults and chicks seen by volunteer observers in a half-hour period on the third Saturday in July, the results below are not a complete census of loons on Maine lakes. Lakes that were incompletely surveyed are marked with an asterisk. For more information, contact Maine Loon Project director Susan Gallo at (207) 781-2330, ext. 216.
