Zoom Community Meeting
Minnesota Loons And The Need For A Fresh Water Ecosystem by Maddi Nistler, Education & Outreach Manager at the National Loon Center
We’re all a little loony for Minnesota’s state bird! Whether you only know Common Loons by their iconic calls, or you are a long-time loon watcher, these charismatic birds will never stop surprising you. We will dive into the physical and behavioral characteristics that make Common Loons unique, the intricate freshwater ecosystems loons call home, and best practices you can adopt to better protect loons from the environmental conflicts they face today.
Maddi Nistler is the Education & Outreach Manager at National Loon Center in Crosslake, MN. Her life-long love for the outdoors and inner workings of the natural world has led her to become a MN Master Naturalist and advocate for Common Loons. Since moving here from Colorado in 2019, Maddi has continued to share her passion for wildlife with others through the Loon Center and beyond. She can often be found off the grid with a fishing rod or talking to trees and local squirrels.
