I remember camping with the folks and seeing them drinking coffee, smiling at no one or each other and me complaining that the dang loons woke me up again. I miss those times. Things were so much simpler...

What a great film 👏. I live in the UK and I've always wanted to hear the loons calling after watching the film On Golden Pond. Hopefully I'll make it over once this pandemic has finally come to an end as your film inspired me to actually do what I said I would do 40 years ago.
Thanks for the beautiful video. Great narrator. Loons have beautiful plumage. I follow different nests of bald eagles, California condors and the royal northern albatross in New Zealand.
Absolutely gorgeous film! I got the opportunity to visit Acadia in June and watched an adult Loon on Upper Hadlock Pond for several minutes after hiking in the park. Beautiful bird and so very relaxing. The setting was extraordinary. Thanks for Cornell's support of conservation and filmmaking!
I sure do love all the sounds they make! I found a long compilation of lake water & loon sounds that I have been falling asleep to at night. Next year I plan to travel a few hours north to see them.
I'm a subscriber & just shared some of these vid's with my family who live in central NY, where we have many fresh water lakes. I summer in the Adirondacks but the lake I'm on is a reservoir with fluctuating water levels so although we have loons visit in the summer, sadly, they do not nest. I have such peace watching these vid's & I love the info on my adored birds. Thank-you!
My SO and I visited Bar Harbor right next to Acadia over the weekend. The whole place is absolutely beautiful, and I hope someday we will be able to go again to explore the park itself.
Great video! I got to see my first loon this year. Same species as this one but since I live in Germany and this was in January, it obviously was in its winter plumage.
This was absolutely lovely - loons are some of my FAV birds, and I also associate them with quiet evenings on a lake in the Adirondacks or Maine. I am thrilled to report that there is now a loon living all the way east in Walden pond in Mass! Although I believe he or she was a transplant. He or she seems unphased by the pond’s overcrowding, so far anyway.
The call of the loons tome us so peacefully and servant to me..lost makes my want to.leave the city for good get back to natchure wit the cry of the loons..this us real liveing
I love looney loons. They are so beautiful and majestic. Love how you drew the pictures of the loons on your drawing book. So talented. It was a collaborative effort on all your parts and you did wonderful. Make more Loon Channels as well. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this incredible and so well filmed video of Common Loons interacting with their young. This is really the best I have ever seen. Really enjoyed the story, voice and choice of music !!!
Simply fantastic. Enjoyed every second and subscribed. Hope to hear them in person one day and help with their conservation. The most beautiful bird in the world to me.
Fabulous video work and great story telling! Oddly I spent several weeks every summer as a kid on MDI and hiking up Echo Lake cliffs and around Hadley Pond, but never saw or heard loons. Perhaps less common in late 60’s - 70’s? Also would love to know what type of camera your dad shoots with? That’s a massive zoom lens!
Lots of Common loon info here: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Loon/overview. Please consider subscribing to our channel.
i cried. this is the sound of my childhood.
You mean you woke up or slept to the sound of loons? How fortunate!
Soothing to my parched California soul.
What a wonderful video -- thank you very much! I go to a lake every summer in central Minnesota; we're fortunate to have loons there too.
Thanks so much for watching.
Nothing 'common' about these beauties 🖤🤍🖤 Thanks Laman family for bringing us this magnificent videography and storyline.
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember camping with the folks and seeing them drinking coffee, smiling at no one or each other and me complaining that the dang loons woke me up again.
I miss those times. Things were so much simpler...
I think loons are probably my favorite bird call
Are not you lucky to have such an amazing family! :) Fabulous birds!
The photography, music and narration are so well done, telling beautiful stories while teaching about these amazing birds!

Pretty amazing Loons ! Stunning voices! GOD IS GREAT! Amen!
i really want to see loons and listen their reall beautiful calling sounds while they are swming in the water.
Lovely photography

Greetings from Vienna/AUT where the Loon wailing unfortunately can only be heard in the zoo.

He or she seems unphased by the pond’s overcrowding, so far anyway.
Did the loons at Walden Pond you mentioned actually have chicks? Just curious, never heard of them nesting so far south.
Great video. I adore loons.
This is fantastic
Very wonderful footage !!
Thank you! Cheers!

Nice video I wish we had loons out in the West…
Fabulous video work and great story telling! Oddly I spent several weeks every summer as a kid on MDI and hiking up Echo Lake cliffs and around Hadley Pond, but never saw or heard loons. Perhaps less common in late 60’s - 70’s?
Also would love to know what type of camera your dad shoots with? That’s a massive zoom lens!
This is a superbly crafted visually and audibly stunning video. Bravo 🤗👌👼! ♡☆ Narrator holds your attention Too. I sub'd long ago❗🐦😏🇨🇦
Wow, thank you!
Nice
most loons live in western canada. they are my all time favorite. they are on our money.
They come to Texas during the winter.
I really wish that illustrated notebook in the thumbnail was real--I would love to read it!
Hi, those are just a few pages of Jessica's field notes.
Ours together our little family with rank and position Loons
I never realized it but they camp near salt water
