This report describes temporal patterns of loon productivity using data records collected by Canadian Lakes Loon Survey (CLLS) volunteer participants and Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) staff in the province of Quebec, Canada. In addition, it evaluates the influence that lake pH, lake surface area, and human disturbance has on loon productivity and, lastly, we compares mean values of lake pH and loon productivity between lakes occurring within and outside of La Mauricie National Park.
