Loon calls

This loon was found in a small lake, Chant Lake, off a portage of Burntside Lake near Ely, MN in August 2006.

Omg! I miss Canada soo much. There's nothing better than falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the loons.

How beautiful - and how sad. This Loon is almost frantic; I've rarely heard such a chorus. He has a superb patch of Northern lake he claims as his own - but there are no females nearby. I have spent 40+ years listening to Loons; and can recognize the wistfullness and eagerness in this bird's voice. I really hope he found a girl - I'n sure he would be a great Loon father.

I love the sound of loons although I've never heard one live. They also remind me of creepy movies where everyone goes camping and gets killed! O.O

Thanks so much for posting! I was looking for a really good video to show my 9 year old neighbor, who thought I was joking with him about birds called loons. (I also live in the middle of Oklahoma City, in an apt, & thought I heard a loon outside recently, bringing the conversation up. Strange thing to wake up to in this area!)

When I was a kid laying in bed at night, I would hear this and think velociraptors where outside my house

It's screaming at you to go away. It doesn't like how close you are; it probably feels threatened.
