The above photo of LoonWatch intern Adam Yates (2002-2004) appeared in the Ontario based Simcoe Reformer's article about the 2007 Sigurd T. Olson Loon Research Award recipient, Dr. Scott Petrie. Congratulations to Adam for making the front page of a Canadian newspaper, and congratulations to Dr. Petrie and Long Point Waterfowl and Wetland Research Fund. Good luck on your project: Common Loon Contaminant Burdens and Condition during Fall Migration through the Lower Great Lakes.
Thank you to our Loon Research Award Review Panel for the time spent deliberating over proposals. If you know someone doing a loon research project, encourage them to apply to the 2008 Loon Research Award. Information will be forthcoming.
