October 06, 2008- Loon Information

What is the proper procedure if you were to find a dead loon? We recently had this happen, and wanted to spread the word as to protocol-
You should notify the Game Warden...if he doesn't come or can't, then an authorized person should freeze the loon immediately and see that it gets to Maine Audubon or Tufts Vet School for an autopsy and diagnostic test for cause of death and lead & mercury content, etc. We are looking to inform all Square Pond land owners on different situations. If you have a good tip, pass it on to me, and I will post it!
