Glacier’s many high country lakes provide the perfect nesting habitat for loons and a beautiful setting for observing their behaviors and listening to the wild and romantic songs of these stunning birds.  The class will visit a loon inhabited lake in the North Fork to observe nesting behaviors, chick rearing, plumage and flight.  You’ll come away with a first hand appreciation of the amazing life cycle of this fish-eating, deep diving, and ancient bird.
