Three red-throated loons were safely released on New York’s Lake Champlain after they were grounded in separate incidents in Clinton and Essex counties by an early-December snowstorm.
In the late afternoon of Sunday, Dec, 3, the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation received a report that a red-throated loon was found grounded near Exit 38 on Interstate 87. Reports followed, almost immediately, that a second red-throated loon had landed on a road in Ausable, and a third was found the next day on Spruce Hill, in nearby Keene.
