      just found out this is a real animal.
      i remember hearing the sound effect in movies on other planets thinking it was some alien sound that was created, and never thought it was a real animal until now.

      Same here. I went camping in Haliburton, Ontario and heard this very early morning. Must of been dawn. Just before the sun would come up. Was surrounded by a lake. Was the most beautiful and daunting sound I ever heard as drifting off to sleep. It kind of woke me up and was so beautiful as I layer there listening as my heart was pounding in my chest ♡ somehow I knew it was a loon though I never heard before. ... it almost resembles a coyote but then I knew it was different. Has whopping looping sound to it. So beautiful. ♡

      As a kid I fell in love with the sound as soon as I heard it. They were demoing recordings of them at some curiosity store in Niagara Falls and I begged my parents to buy me a copy of it. Never found them particularly scary, but there is a bit of a sad "siren's call" feel to it. If you want scary though, listen to elk mating calls. They sound like something from Jurassic Park.

    for whatever reason, this sound was used as the death-sound of a particular mushroom like enemy in the videogame Dark Souls. Not to be misunderstood, it worked perfectly as whenever you hear the sound you hear something you would associate with a peaceful environment, and you question the action you took. This sound is used in a perfect scenario in that game, and it is beautiful in itself. so I guess I now know the reason why this particular sound was chosen...

    A shopkeeper in Lake George introduced me to loons (as a topic) and he described their call as, "hauntingly beautiful." I couldn't agree more :) Cornell, keep up the good work. Your Merlin app is a work of art! I love what you've created.

    I'll never forget my first time ever hearing a loons wail. It was at a cabin on Lake Brandy in Northern Minnesota. The sun had just set, and there was a storm brewing in the distance. Then came the loons beautiful yet sad sounding call. Absolutely chilling.

    Love them! When I was a child we had a cottage in northern Ontario and every morning we would hear loons it was so peaceful!
    We even got a landline phone that had a loon ringer... until it broke and kept changing to a ducks voice lol.

    I remember one time I went camping in far north Minnesota. Ever sence I was 5 I wanted to see a loon but I live in nw Indiana right by the Indiana dunes national lake Shore so the only way I would see them would be migration time in the fall but that is very rare. Anyway when me and my family got to the Campground it was dark and there wasn't a sound...just some wolves hawling in the night. The next morning we got our kayaks and went out on the lake. There was a thick fog and some muskrats swimming around... then all of a sudden vary close a loon whales twice and then slowly swims past my kayak about 15 feet away. I will never forget that.

    I also love to gear the mourning dove call. It also sticks with you for the rest of your life. Waking up early on a hot, humid morning to them calling is the best feeling ever.

      EraseMeWhole, we live way out in the country. We have coyotes, deer, wild turkeys, wild hogs, etc., but nothing makes me any happier than hearing the mourning doves and the Bob White. I even love the Canada Geese, although the fly from a neighbor's lake to roost in the peach orchards behind our house and honk all night long, I still love it!

    Here after hearing this bird call in 4 songs off Doja Cat’s new album Planet Her. Every time one of the songs starts I get a pang in my heart & wanted to know what bird call it was. This beautiful video explaining the call so well filled my heart up, too! 🥰🥲 what a beautiful world we live in. So much emotion in that call.

    I know the old song goes, Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, he could have just as easily wrote the song using a Loon. If you have never been on a secluded mountain lake at dusk and heard this beautiful and haunting sound you really need to. One of God's most amazing creations.

    I grew up on the Canadian prairies and frequently heard the loons whenever we went camping in the summer. I always found it to be a comforting sound. I now live in the Vancouver area, and just realized that it's been years since I heard a loon. Needed to find a video, and this landed right where it needed to. Many thanks.
