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.
