CONCORD — A partnership between N.H. Audubon and the Loon Preservation Committee has studied the interactions between two of New Hampshire’s most iconic birds sharing the state’s lakes and rivers.
The two wildlife conservation groups collaborated on an innovative study examining 16 years of breeding data for both bald eagles and common loons to evaluate what influence nesting eagles had on loon territory occupancy and productivity. An article describing their findings appeared recently in the Wilson Journal of Ornithology.
