Loon Zoom #5: Loons of Alaska

Join us this winter for our “Loon Zoom” presentations series!

A different presentation will be offered the second Thursday of each month (November-April) for you to learn more about loons across the country & across the world!

$10 to register. The zoom link will be provided after you register.

Free for ACLC supporters! A discount code will be provided to ACLC supporters for free registration.

On Thursday, March 21, 7 pm (EST), join Tamara Zeller to learn about genetics and contaminants affecting loons in Alaska. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, her love of adventure and travel brought her to Alaska in 1996, where she helped with research on seabirds and decided to make Alaska home.  

Tamara holds a Master of Science in Biology from the University of Alaska Anchorage where she studied the effects of human disturbance on loon and grebe productivity. It was during this research where she developed an appreciation for working with people for the benefit of wildlife, and these experiences molded her for her current role as an outreach biologist. She currently splits her time between outreach and education, observing seabirds and waterfowl for various monitoring projects, and serving as the point person for loons and grebes. 

Tamara will be joined by special guest, Melanie Flamme, from the National Park Service. We look forward to learning about northern loons from Tamara and Melanie!
