How extremely lucky you are to have loons there. I'm jealous - only seen or heard one once in Alaska. I love your photo. Looks like he's going to a blacktie deal!
thank you ladies, I feel lucky to have them so close. one year there was a pair in the small pond down the hill from our house. we heard them all spring.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

Loons are such beautiful birds, and the sound they make is truly one of the most beautiful things our ears could ever hope to hear.

He IS beautiful, isn't he? I don't think I've ever seen one, not even in a bird sanctuary or zoo!
Now I'm going to have to look up a soundfile to hear one!

That's an incredible picture. I love the sound of loons! I have been told I am loony.
