Kevin and Linda Grenzer of Loon Rescue, Inc., have been rescuing sick, entangled or injured loons and other birds (eagles, swans, pelicans, owls, hawks, etc.) since 2013 in the State of Wisconsin.  Every bird they rescue is taken to Raptor Education Group, Inc. where many birds have been successfully rehabilitated and released, giving them a second chance at life.

Kevin and Linda will be presenting information about the state of the common loon population, some of the rescues they have conducted, and how to identify loons in Florida in non-breeding, winter plumage.

For many years, Linda has worked with The Loon Project, a research program that tracks banded loons in the State of Wisconsin.  She was included in the documentary, "A Cry in the Mist",  concerning the decline of the loon population.

Loons are “snowbirds” here in Florida.  Kevin and Linda have also been “snowbirds” since 2020 and they continue to rescue birds on the Florida Gulf Coast during their winter visits.
