Wildlife photographer Tim Laman and family travel to Mount Desert Island, Maine to film the early lives of Common loons. Told by his daughter, Jessica, the Lamans document a unique look at the intimate bond between Loon parents and their young. It's an amazing collection of loon calls and behavior.

lovely video, thank you
i cried. this is the sound of my childhood.
You mean you woke up or slept to the sound of loons? How fortunate!
Beautifully narrated
Soothing to my parched California soul.
Are not you lucky to have such an amazing family! :) Fabulous birds!
Very Nice
Beautiful and amazing documentary
Thanks, Amazing video and great sound. Haunting loons, ... nature at its best.
Wonderful 👍👏♥️
I think loons are probably my favorite bird call
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!
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.
Love this
Awesome footage.
They are very beautiful birds.
Lovely photography
Tim Laman is a regular contributor to the Lab and several other organizations including many, many years with National Geographic. Most of what you are seeing was shot using Red cameras.
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.
Thank you. What beautiful birds.
I love the way loons swim with their eyes underwater looking for food.
Nothing 'common' about these beauties 🖤🤍🖤 Thanks Laman family for bringing us this magnificent videography and storyline.
Glad you enjoyed it
i really want to see loons and listen their reall beautiful calling sounds while they are swming in the water.
Beautiful!
Very well done! What an amazing family project!
Excellent short documentary about these fascinating birds.
Thanks for your great efforts to provide such a beautiful story with knowledge
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.
The photography, music and narration are so well done, telling beautiful stories while teaching about these amazing birds!
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...
Well done Jessica and family. Very informative
What an amazing family project! The photography is incredible! I'll never forget the first time I heard a loon call in Northern Minnesota. Such a hauntingly beautiful sound. I love these birds so much.
Pretty amazing Loons ! Stunning voices! GOD IS GREAT! Amen!
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!
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
This was delightful. I hope to someday hear loons in person

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.
Lovely❤
Very wonderful footage !!
Thank you! Cheers!
lovely documentary film and narration! I was happy to see some sketches too :)
Beautiful presentation!! Love the sound of these wonderful loons!!
Love these birds, I wish they were New Zealand, my country.☹
Great film and photography , narration was excellent, loved watching this short documentary very informative, thank you.
Fantastic to see your family getting involved in doing what you have mastered, Tim. The Bird of Paradise was a masterpiece.
Hermosos lugares gracias por compartir
Great job . Well done !
Gorgeous cinematography and sound, what a beautiful documentary.
Thanks for this. Very well done and enjoyable. Love these magnificent birds 😍
Going to Acadia soon. Hopefully will see some loons!
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.
Did the loons at Walden Pond you mentioned actually have chicks? Just curious, never heard of them nesting so far south.
very well done video. thank you. I hope you would have more like this
Subhn alah beauteful berds thnk yo very mach to this veduo lm from bghdad Iraq

Nice video I wish we had loons out in the West…
Really nice Video! It was Great you could do it as a Family project! It came out Very well.
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.
What a beautiful job you folks have done ! And not in the least in the editing room ! I am touched. Thank you.
Why doesnt this video have more views? This is so calming and beautiful!
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.
Always a good idea to revisit this!
Outstanding! So glad to see your family working together on this. What better life can there be?
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 !!!
This is a superbly crafted visually and audibly stunning video. Bravo 🤗👌👼! ♡☆ Narrator holds your attention Too. I sub'd long ago❗🐦😏🇨🇦
Wow, thank you!
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!
Good luck. Happy journey,
My dear.
