Our article on juvenile survival in loons just came out. Based on the hundreds of loons that we banded as chicks and have reobserved as adults in the study area, the paper reports that about half of all loon chicks return to the breeding ground as adults. Most of these individuals are seen within 15km of their natal lakes.
