It is always better to prevent a disease than to treat it. Vaccines can protect both the people who receive them and those with whom they come in contact. Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common in this country and around the world, including polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, and Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib). Vaccine eradicated smallpox, one of the most devastating diseases in history. Over the years vaccines have prevented countless cases of infectious diseases and saved literally millions of lives. Vaccine-preventable diseases have a costly impact, resulting in doctor's visits, hospitalizations, and premature deaths. Sick children can also cause parents to lose time from work.What is an immunization registry? What is CAIR?An Immunization registry is a secure computer system that stores children’s immunization (shot) records. It can only be used by doctors, hospitals, public health departments and other selected programs that serve children. It helps kids get their shots on time and stay healthy.

Common Loon - NYSDEC
New York Status: Special ConcernFederal Status: Not ListedOn This PageDescriptionLife HistoryDistribution and HabitatStatusManagement and Research NeedsWatchable WildlifeDescriptionReferred to as the "spirit of northern waters," the common loon is recognized as a symbol of unspoiled wilderness. In breeding plumage, this water bird is black-headed with a black, dagger-like bill, dark red eyes, a black collar, a white necklace, prominent white checks on the back, and white underparts. In non-breeding plumage, the body is essentially grayish above and whitish below with varying amounts of white showing on the side of the head. Dark traces of the collar are often visible. In the winter, the bill is lighter and of a grayish hue.Juveniles are similar to adults in winter plumage but have more prominent barring across the back. A distinctive feature of the loon is its eerie, yodel-like call that can be heard on northern lakes where nesting occurs and on wintering areas in late winter and early spring.Life HistoryReturning to the same breeding grounds year after year, common loons are believed to mate for life. Upon their return, the pair renews their bond with short displays, including synchronized swimming, head posturing and diving. The nest is built within a few feet of the water's edge by both the male and female. A clutch of two eggs is laid sometime between mid-May and June. The young hatch after an incubation period of 26-31 days and begin to swim almost at once. Within 24 hours, they are moved by the parents to a nursery area away from the nest. In 2-3 weeks, the young can make short dives and catch small fish. Fledging occurs in 11-13 weeks. Juveniles may spend several years in oceanic wintering areas before returning inland to breed.The loon's diet consists almost entirely of fish.Distribution and HabitatCommon loons breed across most of Alaska and Canada, south to Washington, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and New England. In New York, common loons breed on the lakes of the Adirondack Mountains and in the St. Lawrence River region.

Background Information

Geographically, the City of Birmingham sits in a valley in the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The general flow of ground water is westward, away from the higher points in the City, towards the Black Warrior and Cahaba Rivers. Other major creeks in the area include Shades and Little Shades Creeks which drain into the Cahaba River and Five Mile, Valley, and Village Creeks which drain into the Black Warrior River. These creeks, rivers, and tributaries, along with additional waterways, contribute to the makeup of several watersheds that have some portion located within the city limits of Birmingham. The watersheds are: Cane Creek, Valley Creek, Turkey Creek, Five Mile Creek, Village Creek, Little Shades Creek, Shades Creek, Big Black Creek, Cahaba River, and Little Cahaba River. Each of the 10 watersheds contains at least some portion of 100-year floodplain.

Common Loon - NYSDEC
New York State has millions of acres of State Parks, forests and wildlife management areas that are home to hundreds of wildlife species, and all are open to the public. Choose from hundreds of trails and miles of rivers as well as marshes and wetlands.Remember when viewing wildlife:Don't feed wildlife and leave wild baby animals where you find them.Keep quiet, move slowly and be patient. Allow time for animals to enter the area.Quick Facts About LoonsLoons have solid bones, while most other birds have hollow bones. Solid bones allow the loon to dive underwater to depths of up to 150 feet in search of food.After hatching, the chicks are carried on their parents' backs for the first few weeks.Walking on land is difficult for loons because their legs are positioned so far back on the body; therefore, they make their nests very close to the water's edge. It is important to keep your distance on land or by boat from nesting loons or from loons with chicks. Read more tips on the Loon Protection Factsheet (PDF).What to Watch forSize28-36 inches in length, 49-58 inch wingspan, and wingspan and weigh 8-10 pounds. Males are typically larger than females.AppearanceIn summer, adults have a black-and-white checkered back, black head, a long pointed black bill, and bright red eyes.In winter, their plumage (feathers) is mostly grayish-brown with white on the throat and belly portion. Their bill is grayish colored, and their eyes are brown.Males and females are similar in color. Immature common loons are mostly grayish-brown in color.Where to WatchLarge, deep freshwater lakes with islands and bays surrounded by forests.What to Listen forThe call known as the wail is easily heard over long distances, sounding similar to a wolf's howl. Another call, the tremolo, sounds like a maniacal laugh.When to WatchThe peak time to view common loons is during the summer breeding season, when their plumage is most vibrant. They can also be found wintering inshore along the coast of Long Island. They travel north from their wintering grounds in late March and April to their breeding grounds.
