Alaska's Yellow-billed Loons

Description

Yellow-billed Loons raise their young in northern Alaska, each year. Long-time homesteaders, Jim and Teena Helmericks, have witnessed this annual event on the Colville River Delta, for more than 50 years. Scientists with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service monitor the breeding population of Yellow-billed Loons across northern Alaska to document population trends and to investigate factors affecting the breeding population.
