 Hi, I'm Hannah Young. I'm the Loon Count coordinator at Maine Audubon. Last year, our Loon Count volunteers counted on 361 lakes across Maine. We have folks who have been counting since 1983. They've been counting for 40 years, and then we have people who are just joining, who may have never joined any kind of community science project. And so every single type of person who gets involved is incredibly helpful to this statewide initiative. So what does the future look like for the Loon Count? Well, we hope to get more and more people across Maine involved in this project. We would love to cover some more of the north. We just last year in 2022 had Sebego Lake fully covered for the first time. So we would love to continue hitting really wonderful milestones like that. The Loon Count is this incredible moment in time where everyone across Maine that's involved is doing the same thing at the same time. It's a really wonderful way people show how much they value their lakes and their loons, and we would love to keep that going. It's something we have to do to maintain this wildlife population. That's very important to me, and I think it should be important to a lot of people. I think people are always looking for ways to get involved, and I feel like the Loon Count is something that's so incredibly accessible, because it's a half an hour, once a year. You basically show up, you don't have to have a boat, you can do it from the shore. It doesn't take that much time and effort, really. It's just writing down a few numbers about how many loons you see, and it does a lot of good for everybody. We've got to keep going here. We kind of hardly just crack the surface of what I think we can do across the state.
