was this recorded in September or earlier in the season?

[WW2medicfan]

Lmao. Loons are great cool vid. I'm minnesotan and luckily my cabin in northern Minnesota has alot of loons. I've seen this only 1 or twice I think

[RobbytheLion]

They're fast! I wonder if they are fighting or if this is courtship behavior. Birds are weird.

[onefatcheetah]

Hahahaha, this is adorable. Brilliant.

[afosan]

That was great! I'm exhausted....

[KerlYou1]

Love (or territoriality?) is a wonderful thing. I associate loons with solitude, as in some of the other videos, but I think the music is a hilarious addition!

[curdle1]

LAME. i want to hear them calling

[yetish22]

Not only do they fly great distances, but they are often used by humming birds, who hitch a lift on the back of a loon during migration.

I once watched a loon on its back it the water with its feet up in the air, occasionally splashing furiously. It eventually flew off.

[cidshroom]

@yetish22 Loons can fly great distances, but so can hummingbirds, they do NOT hitch a ride.

[yetish22]

@cidshroom Sorry, but I have seen film of hummingbirds landing on a loon in flight.

[cidshroom]

@yetish22 Ya but then there's 1000 places saying that opinion of yours, is a rumour that people started ages ago, as they didn't think hummingbirds could migrate, and yes, they can.

So produce the film, or stfu.

[yetish22]

@cidshroom So why do you have to resort to offensive language? This seemed like a forum of civil discussion until your last comment. Are you one of those people who feels like he always has to be right or some pseudo-lawyer? I saw a film, good quality. I related what I saw, never said hummingbirds couldn't migrate. Believe what you like, and lighten up.

[cidshroom]

@yetish22 So no film? And criticizing me for your lack of proof.

How's this sound, go find some evidence, or stop propagating lies.

[yetish22]

@cidshroom I'm not propagating lies. I was participating in a discussion. You ask how your latest comment sounds, I say childish and predictable. I was expecting it. This is not a trial nor a scientific publication, it was a pleasant discussion. You seem so bitter!

[cidshroom]

@yetish22 Go FU CK yourself, how does that sound?

All I want is you to show a shred of evidence, or go "huh I didn't know they can migrate"

Instead you're picking a fight. Incapable of debate or discussion, I think you are.

Go put "hummingbirds geese" into google, top 3 links all say your opinion is bullshit.

Debate over, you lose, crazy old fag.

[yetish22]

@cidshroom Sounds like a frustrated ignoramus. I didn't pick any fight. You stooped to offensive language, so take a look at yourself. Who said anything about geese? Just because something doesn't exist on the web doesn't mean it's not true and just because something else exists on the web doesn't mean it is true. I saw a wildlife documentary a few years ago and they filmed a hummingbird landing on the back of a loon in flight and snuggling in, very clear. Never heard of such a thing before.

[cidshroom]

@yetish22 Sounds like a crazy old man who has lost the ability to learn.

I have produced proof against your "theory" and yet you have produced no counter proof, other than "one time I saw".

Yes well one time I saw a tree morph into a wolf, I was on shrooms at the time, but that's not important, I SAW IT!

Also a nature documentary once faked lemmings killing themselves, very clear.

Last word was still had the post before, there would be links, but youtube doesn't allow it.

[yetish22]

@cidshroom I invite you to have the last word, no doubt you will want it.

[Goulet33]

excellent swimmers and divers.

do they ever fly? can they?

[k2500diesel]

yes they can fly however it takes them a mile of running to get airborne and once airborne they are not very pretty

[Needsmoreritalin]

They're making fun of the people who do freestyle laps in their pool.

[Loganrmsdl]

Stupid circus music was not needed because i think the sound they make while doing this is rather lovely
