Two Loon Videos

These videos go with yesterday's post. I know some of you haven't seen or heard a Loon before so this is for you! Loons have 4 beautiful calls that each have different meanings:

• Their wail is a long mournful call that you will most often hear at night. They use it to communicate and keep in touch with other Loons nearby.
• The Tremolo call has 8-10 notes and they will make this noise if they are upset such as if humans or predators are nearby. If you hear this, you are too close to them.
• The "hoot" is a reassuring low one-note call they use to say hello to their family members.
• The yodel is made by the male Loon only and it's made up of rising and repeating notes to protect their territory. If you hear this, you should back away.
