Abstract
Yellow-billed Loons raise their young in northern Alaska, each year. Long-time homesteaders, Jim and Teena Helmericks, have witnessed this annual event on the Colville River Delta, every year for the last 50. More recently, scientists with the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service started monitoring the breeding population of Yellow-billed Loons across northern Alaska to document population trends and to investigate factors affecting the breeding population. This year, the species will be considered for listing under the Endangered Species Act.
