'The report contains data collected from territorial loons residing on waters in or adjacent to the park.' From Abstract, 'From 1989 to 2000, over 1,500 breeding adult loons (52% males and 48% females) were color-marked and weighed from 505 territories on 313 lakes and followed for one to 12 subsequent years. The purpose of this marking program was to quantify the between-year territory fidelity of breeding adult loons within a spatially-explicit context and partly explain patterns with body mass and intra- and inter-season dispersal information.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Seal Cove Pond/Echo Lake/
