October 15th - 7:00pm Loon Magic - The Life Cycle of the Common Loon As an icon of the north-country, the Loon has created magic for all who have enjoyed his antics and that magical “call of the wild”. Polk City Iowa writer/photographer Ty Smedes will lecture about the life history of the Loon, and will share many stunning images. Ty has made many trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of northern Minnesota, where he has captured iconic images of a female loon, on the nest, with youngsters riding on her back, and even the male feeding the young, as they rest there. Ty will share many anecdotes and will show how a nature photographer pre-visualizes and plans a wilderness photography trip. Join us for an exciting and educational presentation!
