Maine Biologists Are On A Mission To Restore The Call Of The Loon To Its Historic Range

Dave Evers kneels in the bow of a small idling motorboat, surveying the calm lake in front of him with binoculars. It’s 9:30 p.m. and with the exception of a few stars in the sky and a ring of faint cabin lights encircling the lake, it’s difficult to see anything more than a couple feet away. Luckily, Evers is one of the world’s foremost loon experts, and a pro at finding the birds in the dark.
