Kylie has been a lead responder for oil spills and other wildlife emergencies, helping to save loons and many different birds across the word. She even traveled to save some flamingo chicks in South Africa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kylie and the others at the International Bird Rescue care for loons that are injured, oiled, sick, or suffering from starvation. They help them recover so they can be released back into the wild to live a happy life for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Kylie, Emma learned some fun trivia about loons. But that is not all! There are plenty of other loon facts to dive into. Earth Rangers has plenty of fun Wildwires to check out, so why not give it a look?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-earth-rangers wp-block-embed-earth-rangers\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"RNSPdCVrqI\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/bbtw_updates\/gettin-looney-for-loons\/\">Gettin&#8217; looney for loons!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Gettin&#8217; looney for loons!&#8221; &#8212; Earth Rangers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/bbtw_updates\/gettin-looney-for-loons\/embed\/#?secret=BFvGIsXHq9#?secret=RNSPdCVrqI\" data-secret=\"RNSPdCVrqI\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-earth-rangers wp-block-embed-earth-rangers\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"4nBS06yKHy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/news\/a-new-generation-of-wildlife-heroes\/\">A New Generation of Wildlife Heroes<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;A New Generation of Wildlife Heroes&#8221; &#8212; Earth Rangers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/news\/a-new-generation-of-wildlife-heroes\/embed\/#?secret=SiVUdWRgDM#?secret=4nBS06yKHy\" data-secret=\"4nBS06yKHy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-earth-rangers wp-block-embed-earth-rangers\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"MKj5cpLoQv\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/all\/would-you-rather-44\/\">Would you Rather #44<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Would you Rather #44&#8221; &#8212; Earth Rangers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/all\/would-you-rather-44\/embed\/#?secret=7B4ab9AjEM#?secret=MKj5cpLoQv\" data-secret=\"MKj5cpLoQv\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"88\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Save-A-Message.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50049\" style=\"width:225px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What was your favorite loon fact from the episode? <\/strong><strong><strong>Do you have<\/strong><\/strong><strong><strong><strong> any other fun loon trivia?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><br><strong><strong><strong> Let us know in the comments below!<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>For more information about the Common Loon or to learn more about the International Bird Rescue\u2019s mission, please visit their website at https:\/\/www.birdrescue.org\/<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"173\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Loon-sponsorPlate-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-600196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Loon-sponsorPlate-1-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Loon-sponsorPlate-1-1-300x87.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Loon-sponsorPlate-1-1-150x43.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Emma is taking a break from her whirlwind tour of National Parks in order to relax and have a fun night at the movies.
