> Monday, May 7th - Ginger Gumm and Daniel Poleschook, Jr.: Loons in
> Washington State - Dan and Ginger have been researching and photographing
> the common loon in Washington since 1996. Their slide and Power Point
> presentation will discuss the status and conservation recommendations for
> the Common Loon. Dan is a professional photographer and a geologist. They
> are currently researching the wintering area populations and mortality of
> the common loon in Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Pacific
> Coast. Approximately 50 Common Loons and chicks have been color-marked in
> Washington, and they are attempting to determine where Washington loons
> migrate to in the winter. They have had several band returns from the
> Puget Sound area for Washington and Montana loons, and are finding that
> 75% of Common Loon mortality occurs during the winter months on the winter
> territory. They have spent a lot of time in the Port Angeles and Sequim
> area including the Hood Canal region looking for loons.
