Lovely Loons with Dr. Lauren Wentz

Join Dr. Lauren Wentz as she share insights into the ecology and behavior of loons, including their vocalizations, and the importance of these iconic birds in Northwoods ecosystems.

Dr. Lauren Wentz, Professor of Biology at the UW-Eau Claire – Barron County, has studied loons and their behavior for more than 30 years, with field studies in northern Wisconsin, the U.P. of Michigan, and southcentral Alaska. Her particular expertise is in the analysis of bird sounds (bioacoustics), but she has a passion for understanding the ecological landscapes in which birds vocalize.
