Common Loon Concert

This video was taken on Forked Lake in the Adirondacks of northern New York during a camping trip in 2005. The call of the Common Loon is an eerie, but beautiful sound.

Forked is great. Still remember the Loons on Spruce Lake. We were leaving and I forgot something at the lean to and went back. One of the Loons swam right up to me at the shore almost like he wanted to say goodbye.

We drove into the campground a few weeks ago and the loons were still swimming around. We have to get up there next summer!!! I miss camping there.

Thanks for this. When my son was around 6 years old, he could call just like a loon, and the loons would answer him, going back and forth. In Labrador they are sometime called "Bad weather birds", as they sometime go out to fish before the sea becomes too rough. I saw loon parents leave their chicks on a rock out from the shore for a "baby sitter", save from a fox, coming to get them after they had gone fishing. Loons have red eyes so they can see in deep water. They are a very ancient species.

His animal totem is a white whale. With stories about loons, I only heard the legend of the blind man whose sight was restored by riding four times under water on the back of a loon.
When you hear the call of a loon you can imagine they have some kind of magical power.
