This sound evokes so much nostalgia, warmth, love and peace. The call of the loon brings me back 30 years to being a kid at a northwoods resort with my entire family. My grandma passed over this winter, and my grandfather passed all the way back in 1991. One of their favorite things to do was sit along on a pier, watch the sun begin to escape behind the tall trees, and listen to the loon’s wail. I can only hope those moments captured in time exist infinitely. The soft sound of the water around the dock, distant laughs of my cousins playing while dinner is coming off the grill. My Grandpa and Nonny sitting together on the pier watching the sun begin to set and the loon calling out from across the lake. This single bird call brings all of the emotions to mind and heart. It’s beautiful
What a wonderful comment. I’m sure it looks totally different, but while reading what you wrote and what I pictured in my mind was beautiful and I wish I could go to such a place.
our ancestors didn't speak of "nature" as something separate, they didn't hold the false concept that they were apart from it. literally everything including themselves was "nature" so there was no need of the word
@@Cynlouwho85 To be fair, we are a part of nature. Just like the beaver and the grizzly bear, we build houses to live in. Sure we are not animals, but we are still living creatures living amongst nature. We just forget that our houses and cities are surrounded by nature and are in nature. We live in nature, even in the biggest cities.
I listen to this at night before i go to sleep with volume just audible enough to hear like i was out on a northern lake. So calming. God broke the mold when he created these creatures.
I used to live in Minnesota. One of my favorite memories was camping up in the Boundary Water Canoe Area wilderness. And falling asleep to these calls. The comfort it brings me is deep.
I think the haunting calls of the Loon reach something deep inside me, just like the howling of wolves do. I also consider myself very lucky to have a summer place in northern NY State, where I get to go to sleep each night to the calls of loons "talking" across the lake.
Hearing this call again reminds me of my childhood growing up when my family and I would go camping up near Cadillac in Michigan, my uncle lived near a campground on a lake and although we’d camp a lot, it was the moments of late evenings or early mornings when my dad and uncle would be messing about and just sitting down by the lake smoking cigarettes and just enjoying the view. Just standing there watching them enjoy the sounds of nature was something else, which unfortunately my uncle passed away two years ago and whenever I hear this damn bird, it always takes me back to when I was young, with no worries, and didn’t have responsibilities. Damn I miss it 🥹
I, a Florida native, spent a month out in the deep woods of Maine a few years back. Every night I fell asleep to the loon call and ever since I have missed it so much. To my surprise, I heard one loon call this morning in the woods of Florida, which I have spent plenty of time in, never experiencing this bird here. Had to come to listen to more of it
When I was a boy Scout a few years back I went the boundary waters and canoed and portaged and this is one of my most memorable moments of that experience. Also having a Canadian mounty check us out and get our papers as soon as we set up camp the first night. It was all a very fun and memorable experience
First time I have ever heard a loon was at Halliburton Scout Reservation, about a 3 hour drive northeast of Toronto, CA. Haven’t heard a loon since, as there are no loons where I live unfortunately. But absolutely loved the sound!
I remember the first time I heard loons as a youth. The wail is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. I will never forget that trip bc of the loons’ wailing.
God this reminds me of the cabin I used to visit when I was younger. Some relative's owned it and every year I got to spend a week at their cabin. There would be night's I'd spend out on their porch in the early hour's of the morning just listening to them call. Such nostalgia.
Just saw two loons yesterday on a day trip to Kittery Maine. I saw them from my car driving by and was so happy I stopped. Their call is one of a kind and one you can’t mistake.
My 5 favorites sounds in the world , loon calls , campfire , paddling , cat purring and when a newborn baby drink some milk , they are a ther-happy for me , the information that you wrote about the loon , it's very interesting , thank you very much ;)
I miss this sound from Merrymeeting Lake NH. It scared me at first since I didn’t know what it was or had never heard it before. But after living g there for a while and was told what it was we would open our windows so we could hear it all the time! It would soothe me to sleep at night.
Just finished camping in the deep algonquin backcountry all i could hear at night were loons, made me so relaxed and lost track of time just listening. Beautiful creatures
Oh, Thank you. I lived in southern Greenland as a child (my father was a greenlender/Inuk). we lived next to a big lake, in Qaqortoq, and I LOVED this sound of the 4 pairs of Loons that were here during the short summer, so my evenings had this beautiful sound. By the way around 5:15 this sound reminds of a seagull?
Me, I do lol. I’m from MN but live down south now. I still call MN home and try to go back every year. Most people down south don’t even know what a loon is
It sounds so beautiful and peaceful on a lake in the evening, unless your tent is close to the lake and one goes off right near you. Then it sounds like A GHOST!!!!
Been searching to find this sound and I found it! Heard it many times in the past, but not since I've been living in the city......hear sirens in the city ,or gunshots!
Ah, finally. I've been looking for this specific sound and now I can have pleasant sleep and sweet dreams of nature. Minus the viking rampages of course.
3 days ago at duck lake we saw loons and I heard them to but now I am not at duck lake I am sad but happy I can see my family and not get a snapping turtle on the line lol

hey, i've been trying for years to track down a nature sounds album that i used to listen to every night when i was a kid. the loons in your video sound exactly like they did on the tape, only it was just one track on a tape that had wolves and thunderstorms on it too. what source did you use for this track? was it from an album, or just by itself?
Try this video but it's not the one from your childhood because it was released 8 months ago. ua-cam.com/video/4icr-2E7I8g/v-deo.html&ab_channel=YourBlueSkyTimeYourBlueSkyTime
Someday someone will post a "relaxing" video of loon calls. I love the sound of the long mournful loon call way off in the distance. One screeching cries right in your ear, as if you were right next to them, or in rapid succession cacaphony is hardly relaxing. But thanks for trying. Their mournful distant call is the most beautiful sound on this planet.
@@jamesbentonticer4706 I wasn’t sure what sounds those made. The Sandhill Crane? I don’t know about that, wasn’t the kind of nostalgia or soothe the loon brings. The Hermit Thrush is definitely a beautiful song bird though. The loon just brings this haunting, beautiful call that brings on so much nostalgia if you grew up spending summers in the Northwoods
Thank you for listening please like, comment & subscribe
Aurora, Maine.
Thank you.
Truly one of the most beautiful sounds in nature.
Couldn’t agree more
Much agreement.
I find it to be scary
@@sorse_engine That's an interesting reaction. "Mournful," maybe, but scary?

The sounds of loons help me reconnect to my ancestors who respected nature.
Same with me. John

We have loons on our lake and their call is ethereal. We love hearing them at dusk and in the very early morning.
I love it too glad you enjoyed it
I used to live in Minnesota. One of my favorite memories was camping up in the Boundary Water Canoe Area wilderness. And falling asleep to these calls. The comfort it brings me is deep.
Did you ever go to Birch lake in Babbitt or mostly stay near Ely? I miss MN so much

I have canoed In Ontario for more than 50 years, mostly Algonquin. The loon is my favourite sound!
Mostly where I heard them too. Camping in Ontario almost every summer as a kid. Miss this so much.
i love algonquin!
I love it as well

Learn to spell. Loons. Not lunes.
I was just there before they closed and it was majestic. You get so close to nature, it’s beautiful.
I used to live in Northern Ontario , Wabigoon Lake and now living in Europe . I miss this sound of loon so much.
Fantastic, I love all their different calls and hope we can preserve our loons for ever
I listen to the loons on lake glenville in North Carolina every night there's so mysterious and haunting but beautiful.
I worked at a Boy Scout camp where loons lived on the lake. This video immediately makes me feel like I’m home, they sound so pretty.
When I was a boy Scout a few years back I went the boundary waters and canoed and portaged and this is one of my most memorable moments of that experience. Also having a Canadian mounty check us out and get our papers as soon as we set up camp the first night. It was all a very fun and memorable experience
Were you a Charlie guide? I was 1998-2002 and 2005. Miss the loons singing me to sleep in the tent.
First time I have ever heard a loon was at Halliburton Scout Reservation, about a 3 hour drive northeast of Toronto, CA. Haven’t heard a loon since, as there are no loons where I live unfortunately. But absolutely loved the sound!
Miss this sound, heard it every summer growing up, the Adirondack mountains are extravagant! Amazing nature and beauty!
French Canadians have a sentence for them:
When loons come to a lake, the lake is healthy.
;)
😌😉 From your southern neighbor ✌
Canadians are fucked up in the ass by muslims those days.
Summer of 2021 me and my friends went to Rock Lake in Algonquin, hearing these calls at night is something I will hopefully always remember.
I always hear the Loons all the time in Maine. So peaceful at night.
They Literally Speak to Each other...Every Call carries a different meaning...I miss hearing that! ❤ Thank You!
I love the Beautiful deep down in my soul sound of the Loons soothing calming love from Yvonne Mullion Cornwall England 🏴
Amazing Birds Loons Are And There Very Beautiful in colors and sounds😍🥰😻💖
This is the best loon video on the web
I love sleeping with my windows open in northern Michigan. It lulls me right to sleep.
I love Loon calls. Thanks so much from Brazil🙏❤
The sound of Northern Ontario: Beautiful! This and the White Throated. How I miss them.
Northern NY, ADKs... And they're making a Comeback! Protected species...❤

My cottage we have tons they help me sleep at night and they are my early morning alarm as well lol
Nothing like early morning on a foggy River or lake with this in the distance
i remember hearing a similar ambient call like this in a game I played
i loved it
Amazing animals!! with a amazing sound!!
During the day it the most beautiful sound, during the night it the most terrifying sound
“Jud! What is that?!”
*shh!*
“…just a loon, that’s all..”
Sometimes dead is betta
Beautiful sounds.
this really helped me calm down
Indeed nature is giant magnanimous grandeur and also mysterious soothing.
Lovely. TYSM.

Loon's are more active at night specially after sunset
2:00. Love that segment onwards
6:13
Thank you meditation zone 😁
Thank you. I appreciate your support
The bird at 0:49 really just said fuck it and gave it his all
So Soothing ❤️
This is on my bucket list: to experience the loon call in person.
"Oh, what a loon I am."

I hear these all the time when swimming in the foothills ❤
Does anyone else get like Northern Minnesota on the lake vibes when they hear this?
And if any other Minnesotan reads this please let me know.
Me, I do lol. I’m from MN but live down south now. I still call MN home and try to go back every year. Most people down south don’t even know what a loon is

If heartache was a sound.

Perfect wail
This sound is beautiful
I love that sound, but it's not what I call relaxing... It's haunting, but in a beautiful way
Ah, finally. I've been looking for this specific sound and now I can have pleasant sleep and sweet dreams of nature. Minus the viking rampages of course.
Loyal and Faithful Creatures, they are...to their Mates and their Families!❤
Every time I hear these sounds I always think I'm hearing wolves howling at night🤣
So THIS is where they get the nighttime forest sounds in TV shows
They are beautiful don't hear these in Virginia though
What a sound man.
3 days ago at duck lake we saw loons and I heard them to but now I am not at duck lake I am sad but happy I can see my family and not get a snapping turtle on the line lol
I can make the sounds of a Loon with just my whistle
i love this
Honestly the most hauntingly beautiful sound ever. Can you please tell me where you were when this was recorded?
Awwwwww.
