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.

What time of the year did you go when you got to hear such amazing vocals?

[Sparky42854]

@warriormania4 This would have been right after Labor Day, I think.

In the summer of '10 my grandparents took me and my brothers to Loon Lake in New York. For the first time in my life I heard a loon...god its one of the most amazing sounds you can ever hear...and the lake was urbanized, too! All the more special

[Sparky42854]

@warriormania4 Loons are awesome birds....I could listen to them all day and all night, too.

I love Forked Lake was there on the small Island the end of August this year! Great fishing too.

@pkupernik Lucky! We have never camped on an island there, but maybe one of these days we'll get there early enough so one is available. The island sites go fast!

Those loons were afraid of something.

[MsDreamPipe]

these loons are definitely nervous about something.
