Is That a Loon I Hear?
Loons are waterbirds, like ducks. Their closest relatives are (you’ll be surprised…penguins!)
There are lots of loons in Maine, and there always seems to be a pair on Bufflehead Lake every summer.
The loon is the national bird of Canada. They put pictures of them on their stamps and on their one-dollar coins, which they call loonies!
Loons have a very unusual calls. Once you hear them, you will never forget them.
What do these sounds make you think of? You can tell me below.
I can’t listen to it.
I can’t listen to it.
Nice post, I would like to request you to one more post about that Keep it up
What should the post be about?
It Reminds Me of a Crazy Wolf That Laughs like a duck!
it sounds like a train whistle or a woodwind instrument
But spookier, IMO.
YA us Canadians get a mention!sounds like horror movie sound effects
Woah, chilling and cool at the same time. Do you agree, Cheesie?
I really do agree.
i like the sound
Oh my god!
That was… weird.
the call, it reminds me of the werewolf … the laugh reminds me of when my sister tried to sound like a peacock. The common loon is very beautiful …. it is the one shown above
It DOES sound werewolf-ish, doesn’t it?
oh, they are both beautiful .
Cheesie … why did the illustrator make Gorgeie look like a brainiac, witch is cool but … why?
Well the laugh is okay… the call is just spooky !
the first one is cool but the second is just creepy.
I just said the same !
I love the sound! One time when I was camping, that was the sound I woke up to.
the second one reminds me of a wolf howling.
Yeah. It kind of does.
i feel the same
Creepy/Cool/I don’t know what eles .
The loons’ calls sound like a pack of werewolves!
The first one sounds like a lunatic trying to sing, and the second sounds like a wolf, howling at a full moon.
You are very imaginative!
I agree with erin
Hi!The loon in the picture is a common loon. There are many different types of loons. There is the common loon, the red throated loon, pacific loon,yellow billed loon, and the artic loon! The sound that it makes is just so pretty. 😉
You know so much about birds! You are right. It is a common loon. Maybe you’ll become an ornithologist when you grow up.
