Description
Taken on a camping trip to Lake of the Woods, Ontario, Canada. On a nice hot sunny day we decided to rent a boat and go out fishing. When returning in the early evening, we came across a pair of loons swimming in a little cove. We cut the motor on the boat and let it drift in towards the birds. To my surprise they didn't seem to mind us being there and for about half an hour we watched while they continued to preen themselves and even call to each other. It was a most awesome experience.

Common Loons are a classic symbol of northern wilderness, and indigenous people in Manitoba once believed that these birds possessed supernatural powers. It was thought that the loon's haunting call was the voice of the Great Spirit, Manitou.

If you have ever heard the haunting call of a loon you will never forget it. I hope you enjoy the picture. It is something I will never forget.

Featured: The LoonOkay who has never heard a Loon ?
Well I feel exactly like this guy
listen to this
and there are different kinds too
Want to hear what I would hear in my younger days
when we spent a lot of our summer camping
and always by the lake
Its not camping to me if I am not right beside the water
its pointless
this is what I heard daily/nightly
well less the background music
There was often a few coyote packs
running by and howling in the middle of the night
Oh how I miss those sounds
~ ~ ~
Sit back relax close your eyes
pretend you are sitting on a dock
or floating on a kayak as I did and still do
and listen ~ shhhh ~ listen
Oh while we are here might as well add a few beautiful loon deviations
