2021 BLA Annual Meeting Photographs

2021 BLA's 3rd Floating Loon Nest Construction and Placement in Great Pond. This is our 3rd floating nest to help augment our loon population in the Belgrades. In 2020, there was only one chick that fledged from all of Great Pond which is a cause for concern, hence BLA's Loon Preservation Project.

2020 Great and Long Pond Loon Project Survey Photos

In conjunction with BLA's ongoing Loon Preservation Project, we designed and built two artificial floating loon nests. Floating loon nests are positioned to address specific predation issues on our ponds. One of our new artificial nests was positioned April 2020 in upper Long Pond along with two other highly successful twenty year old floating nests. The second BLA nest was also built in April 2020 and is Great Pond's first artificial nest and hopefully will also be a success.
