Learn About Loons from a Leading Expert – July 12 in Longville

If you love Minnesota’s iconic loons, mark your calendar for a special event you won’t want to miss! On Saturday, July 12 at 1 PM, renowned loon biologist Dr. Walter Piper will present “Four Things We Have Learned about Loons” at Salem Lutheran Church in Longville.

Dr. Piper, a professor at Chapman University and founder of The Loon Project, has spent over 30 years studying loon behavior, territory, and population trends in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
