Happy Loons on the Lake

Lake Vermilion, Minn. (VLA) -- Life is good at the lake, if you're a loon on Lake Vermilion. Dodging threats, facing off with eagles and beavers with courage, coming and going as you please, popping up where others might least expect you.
"It sounds like they're laughing!" observed GailH, one of our TH-cam community loon-watchers. And she's so right. Out in the bay, seemingly with not a care in the world, the loons enjoy the lake and each other and wait for their chicks to hatch. Then they share their happiness and exuberance for life with anyone who can hear them.
