I used to work at an animal rescue in Alaska and we'd get loons in sometimes. Something people don't seem to realize is, loons can't walk. Their legs are back too far and they can't hold up their front. They drag themselves onto land just to make nests. When they're in captivity (temporarily if they're in trouble) they need a towel under their chest or they get hurt because they're not supposed to be sitting on land that long. They float on water, that's 99% of their lives.

36 years ago my wife and I sailed our 25 foot sailboat to the North Channel of Canada for our 3 week honeymoon. At one point we were fogged in for three days in a small island cove. The only other residences were a family of loons. For those 3 wonderful days and nights we were serenaded by those amazing birds and their lovely songs; absolute magic. What a wonderful gift, and a happy memory. Thanks for reminding me of it; I’m smiling right now. Think I’ll find my wife, tell her I love her, and ask her listen to the loons.

My favorite bird. It’s very comforting & pleasing to hear their evening calls. In late summer/early fall, they often gather in large groups to hunt as a team. They form in a curved line & dive together to herd & catch fish. It’s especially funny when groups of new adults get together & start showing off, flapping their wings, rising up & calling.

I've heard these birds. They winter every year along the shoreline of the state I live in, which is CT. They're calls are beautiful, amazing, and give a feeling of peace, esp during calmer, quieter conditions. They're very quiet when they dive from the surface and hardly make any splash or wake, unlike Cormorants and diving ducks. A bird that would fall in the same class as the Common Loon as for calls and songs would be the Barred Owl. Haunting calls that are more like a song and give you that nice, cozy, outdoors feeling, esp during calmer, quieter conditions.

The first time I heard the loon's call was on my honeymoon. I had never been in northern Minnesota before, but my husband had. We were camping on an island in a lake when I heard the loons. I thought the sound was coming from wolves and was afraid they would harm us. He finally told me the sound I was hearing was from a bird called a loon not wolves. So, now when I get into the north country and hear the loons, I have a good laugh at myself being so afraid of them and really LOVE to hear and see them.

Wow that was magical! It is the fact their calls echo so often that adds to the feeling of mystery that they evoke for me. In UK we call this bird the Great Northern Diver, which somehow seems much more impressive than the rather prosaic Common Loon (and for me there is nothing really crazy about them, although I suppose some of their calls might make you think of maniacal laughter). Further they are associated with the remote lochs of Scotland, so not a bird that I have ever been lucky enough to see or hear - I have seen red- and black-throated divers, however. Finally, I think their appearance is truly striking with their geometrical black and white markings. Thank you, Lesley.

I *might* have seen this bird once. I’m in Mississippi, where this species is a dull brown color and stays quiet. Because it was so quiet, non-descript, and so far out in the lake that my binoculars couldn’t see it up close, I suppose it could have been something else. Would be a lot cooler to go to Canada and see/hear this species at it’s most beautiful.

Wow, you did it! I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. Loons have become one of my favorite birds. Hearing their calls - especially the hauntingly beautiful wails - are one of the things I look forward to the most when I visit Maine every summer. Another interesting fact about them is how their legs are positioned far back on their bodies. This makes them nimble swimmers, but awkward when having to walk on land. This is why they spend most of their lives on water and also why their nests tend to be right against the water. And their piercing red eyes are so unusual. Stellar video, Lesley. Well done & thanks so much.

The first time I heard the loom call, was in the movie, On Golden Pawn. Caught this channel of new family and only 1 egg hatched. The close up of the body, the feathers, the chick! Wow, there is absolutely no way these gorgeous birds came by evolution!
