Loon Magic with Ty Smedes

Event Summary

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”. Join Urbandale writer/photographer Ty Smedes as he lectures about the life history of the Loon, and shares 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 previsualizes and plans a wilderness photography trip. Join us for an exciting and educational presentation! Wickiup Hill is cosponsoring this program with Cedar Rapids Audubon. This program is free.
