Acknowledgement
Dedication
To the memory of Sigurd F. Olson (1899-1982)
who opened my mind and heart to the music of
the wilderness, and to his son, Sigurd T. Olson,
who helped me understand loons.

The success of Loon Magic has been preposterous. When I self-
published this book in 1984, I assumed the first press run of 10,000
copies would last at least my lifetime. It didn't last four months. It
quickly became obvious that thousands of people shared my interest
in loons. Now 60,000 copies later, I look at the proofs of these
beautiful loon photographs and shake my head in disbelief. How
could a book about a reclusive black and white bird living only on
the extreme northern fringe of the United States and in Canada
attract so many readers? How could a single book build NorthWord
Press, Inc., now with a broad line of nature titles? The power of loon
religion: people across the U.S. and Canada love this bird and the
northwood's region it symbolizes. The success of Loon Magic has
more to do with quiet evenings on northern lakes than marketing
strategy. Loons sell Loon Magic. That's something I'll never forget.
A few non-loons do deserve some credit. Pat Klein worked seven
days a week for over a year coordinating the design, production and
marketing to get the book to its first readers. She wanted to help me
achieve a lifetime goalmwriting a book. Thanks. Jeff Fair, a national
leader in loon protection, did an excellent job of editing. As the
Director of New Hampshire's Loon Preservation Committee, Jeff
continues to be involved with loons on a daily basis. Paul Strong, a
biologist at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, contributed
significantly to this current edition, especially with the Status and
Distribution chapter. He also wrote the beautiful "A Day in The Life
of a Loon" in the Loon Lover's Digest section. Information from
Martin McNicholl, a biologist from London, Ontario, was very
important in updating the Canadian section of that chapter.
My thanks as well go to all the photographers whose patient work
brings loons alive on every page.
Finally, my thanks to Grace and Charlie James whose serene lake
home "Stillwoods" provided my base camp for many wonderful days
of loon watching.
