It was a beautiful walk for sure, one of my favourite places to wander.

They sure have to run on water for a long time!! They are fun to watch, I have a few different videos of their takeoff. Thanks for watching.

Albatross are like a320s compared to this

I love loons too, but since they have survived for a very long time, I would not call them stupid. We all are just trying to make it to the next day :)

It really does sound like that :)

This loon has been in the area for a few years now, and I get to see it often, it always amazes me to see the while color

It is pretty amazing to watch them

Thank you, glad you enjoyed watching my video.

Quite rare, but it is not albino, it is referred to as “Leucistic” meaning a lack of some pigment, but not all. The beak is still black and so are the feet.

@@worldofnature6731 interesting, thanks for the clarification, learned something new!:)

I have quite a few videos of the deer peeing in the water actually lol

Yes, it really is quite a rare thing to see :)

It is cool to have them run past the kayak for takeoff :)

@@worldofnature6731 Yes indeed. I live in Utah so don't have any access to birds, nature, lakes, and fishing holes so I'm watching internet. Thanks for bringing a cool view of your neck of the woods. Australia?

@@TUBESPECIFIC1 I live in British Columbia Canada, and am fortunate to get out into the wilderness and enjoy myself often :) Thanks for watching my video, I have quite a few of them, so check out some more.

@@worldofnature6731 Nice. The loons are Canadian. That is a real nice way of life to be able to get out into the wilderness to enjoy some nature.

This is a leucistic loon, lacking some pigment for color, but not all :)

Glad you watched Geri!

Right?! My first cougar capture :)

Thanks for watching! It is truly a wonderful experience to see this loon :)

Thanks Geri, the water here is gorgeous, and the melt is just starting to happen so the water is all muddy and brown now :)

Waving back!!

Hello my friend!!!

This white color is caused by a gene mutation, and is called “leucism” or “leucistis” meaning that is missing the dark pigment necessary for the usual color. I only learned about this sense coming across this loon at one of the local little lakes. I have spent hours photographing it as well :) It is pretty cool to see.

Really? That's interesting. Never heard of birds having such an issue before.

@@arcadia4691 ya, and it is not just birds, deer, crows, lions, and many others animals can be affected by it. Some are only partially white, while others will be completely white. It is different from albinos because the eyes are not that weird red, but will be their normal color

@@worldofnature6731 hmmm, wow. Didn't know that. Did you notice that I subscribed?

We have many many Magpies here, and I was blow away at all the sounds they are capable making. I am in south east BC Canada, in the Columbia Valley, and it certainly is a beautiful place. I fly a drone as well as all my other camera hobbies, and have done quite a few drone videos in this area.

ua-cam.com/video/yMSz2bnn1NY/v-deo.html this is a walk I went on that is only about 5 minutes from my house :)

@@worldofnature6731 I'm guessing you hadn't heard the call of a Sandhill Crane, huh? I say that, as it's a rather unusual deep, throaty call. I can produce it rather well.

@@arcadia4691 no, I have never heard them before :)

@@arcadia4691 I would love to hear one :)

Sun dogs have always fascinated me, this was a very cold day. I had never seen one with the extra upside down arc before this.

@@worldofnature6731 the arc is rather rare, usually it's just a blob of light on both sides.

@@arcadia4691 ya, I have seen the blobs quite a few times, I love the cold winter skies.

@@worldofnature6731 I don't stay out in the cold for long, I get sinus headaches.

Time with loons are very special moments, I am so happy you got to enjoy the time you had with them. I have a few other loon videos, including one with a white loon. You should check it out :)

@@worldofnature6731 I might check it out, thanks.

Loon calls are the sound of my childhood and any time I hear it I am instantly brought back to the cabin on the lake in northern Mn. I love loons. Can’t express it enough.

They sure are, it has been a very active time :)

Yes, it takes loons quite the distance to achieve take off. If they land on a pond that is too small, they can actually get stuck, and not be able to take off…. Thank you for watching, and the comment :)

Thanks Geri, you always take the time to leave a wonderful comment. I appreciate that so much :)

@@worldofnature6731 I really appreciate what you do!! 💜

The snow has been pretty much gone for a few weeks now :) I even went golfing today lol

Not good at all Geri. Someone has placed some meat in front of one of my cameras as well, as there has apparently been a cougar in the area. I figure they may have been trying to “help” gets capture of it. As a 61 year old woman, who goes to to check my cameras alone, the LAST thing I want is an added danger to me, and also the people that live close by to my camera locations.

@@worldofnature6731 I understand that!

How awesome to have one pop up right beside you, I have experienced that before. The white loon has been here for years now, and is quite the sight to see.

@@worldofnature6731 Is the white loon an albino or just white? I've seen albino deer with the pink eyes and skin and saw deer that just had a white coat. Such beauty blesses us. BWCA

@@indioloco6600 The loon is what is called “Leucistic” , :Leucism (/ˈluːsɪzəm, -kɪz-/) is a wide variety of conditions that result in the partial loss of pigmentation in an animal-causing white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales, or cuticles, but not the eyes. It is occasionally spelled leukism. I have some pretty cool photos of the white loon too…..

@@worldofnature6731 Wow, fascinating. Thanks.

Indio Loco, here is another video of the white loon, you can get a good look at him/her ua-cam.com/video/C4ZoZlMSiDM/v-deo.html

It sure is, I am lucky to be able to explore it :)

V1…….Rotate! 😂

It was cool to see him when I checked my camera!

Thank you Geri!!! :D

I love being out on the water with the loons. I hope you manage to capture that loon one day :)

Videotape? You using 1985 technology - I'm curious 😮

I recently have captured many videos of the deer peeing in the water.....I have not seen that previously either lol

I just googled that, and , yes, apparently they do have solid bones. I had no idea :) Thanks for the info.

@@worldofnature6731 👍

Interesting. I just found a cormarant skeleton in the back yard near the lake. The bones are fluffy light weight. I'm happy I've never found a loon skeleton. There was a dead eagle on the shore when we first moved in here.
