Loon Songs


Click on the photograph above to hear songs of the common loon (Gavia immer) as recorded on Wakami Lake, Ontario, Canada, June 6, 1995 at about 10:00 p.m.

This site is evolving with the loons…

Da mihi naturam, da mihi libros, da mihi pacem.

Give me nature, give me books, give me peace.
