Midnight Banders

Description

Join us on a nighttime adventure to see how researchers capture and band Common Loons on lakes in and around the park. Since the early 2000s, researchers from the Common Loon Working Group have captured loons and fit them with identifying leg bands to better understand the status of Common Loons in Montana. Because there are so few breeding pairs in the state (about 60-70), every bird’s life history holds precious clues.
