The breeding season can be a vulnerable time for loons — they face many threats, both natural and human-caused. Learn more at the presentation by the Loon Preservation Committee at the Fortier Library on June 3 at 6 p.m. (KITTIE WILLSON PHOTO)

BERLIN — For many, the haunting call of the loon is an important part of the New Hampshire lake experience. Often seen as a symbol of the northern wilderness, loons are a beloved fixture on New Hampshire lakes, and many lake goers enjoy watching them as they raise their young. However, the breeding season can be a vulnerable time for loons — they face many threats, both natural and human-caused, while on our lakes.
At 6 p.m., on Wednesday, June 3, you can learn about New Hampshire’s loons during a free community event at White Mountains Community College in Berlin, presented by the Loon Preservation Committee.
