- PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING. I found him "crash landed" in the parking lot at work. Something must have scared him out of the water and since it was night he must have thought our lot was water and attempted to land. I called for a wildlife marshal however there wasn't one on duty since it was after midnight and the police said to just leave it outside.I didn't want to just leave leave him paying in the parking lot so I did some research and apparently loons cannot walk very well (if at all), he did attempt to move his legs to get away but couldn't stand up to move. He tried flying away but didn't get far and "crashed" back in the lot. His foot was bleeding a bit from scraping on the asphalt but it stopped on its own. I released him in a nearby creek and he happily floated away, the creek he was released in was adequate for him to survive in and take off in flight when he wanted. This bird was not tortured in anyway and I took the opportunity to film him while I waited for the police to arrive.
hes like "this water is too damn dry and why tf are u filming me"
🤣🤣🤣
“It’s hard to swim here, i just can’t do it.”
for real, im getting a loon tattoo but i will totally admit these birds dumb as shit
A wolf : Howling
A loon : " If you can howling then lemme howling too "
“hooman pls put me back in water :(“ *sad loon sound*
I was just worried if he'd hurt himself somehow, or if he'd been struck by a car. I had no idea loons can barely walk. I learned something new today. Thanks and good on you for helping him!
Loons are more waterborne than their duck cousins
This bird is injured. You can see it bleeding.
Read the description
That happens with other waterfowl too. Especially in the rain when the dark asphalt glitters like the surface of water, swans for example sometimes crashland and hurt themselves ❤️🩹 I wish there was giant bird stickers like those you put on windows to keep them from thinking it’s water
@@boobyegg2135 I did.
Wow! Such beautiful feather designs. Fun fact: some birds that may look solid black to us, actually have colors that we humans cannot see, only other birds!
Ooo! Cool .
We humans can not comprehend the sheer color and complexity of the loon
@@osparavonly birds can see in the ultra violet range
There's a pure black duck at my local park but when the sun shines on him there's blue, green, purple, pink, just a whole rainbow! Iridescence like no other
@@TropicGal777
The Common Grackle in North America has similar things going in with the feathers. When the sun shines on them, they get a slight rainbow-like appearance of purples and blues
Poor, confused Loon. He's very cute. Glad you helped him.
He helped it read the description
@@firegator6853 I stated "Glad you helped him" in my comment. I thought that was self explanatory that I did read the description and knew he helped it.....
@@susansoltau7710 ok sorry
Lord Freeza no need to apologize lord frieza
Legless thing, it doesnt have any water
Oh that's what that sound comes from. Huh.
Also I'm glad to hear that you took care of him and that he seems to be okay!
That was my first reaction too. I feel like this is one of those sounds everyone has heard a million times without knowing what it is.
It feels so weird knowing that most people associate that sound with movies. Growing up in Iceland I have always associated the Loon call with nature and the summer.
He is as beautiful and haunting as his wail. Even in distress, Loons are such peaceful and benevolent creatures.
Awww the poor thing is looking around like he doesn't understand why no one's answering 😢
saskewoo iii
he was getting help by the camera man
Just read the f@%king description
@Saskewoo And The Poor Tiny Hesperornises Call Is An overused Sound In Movies And I Don't Get It!
If you look closely at its foot you can see that the poor thing’s bleeding 😢.

God bless your soul for saving this little fella, my friend! It was heartbreaking seeing the dried-up blood under him but I’m so happy to know that the loon was released back into the water. Again, God bless your soul 🙏🏻
I had the same thing happen to me when I was 13! Virginian; I had to get one that broke its leg out of the flood containment area of my pool's pond after he tried to clear two ponds, failed twice, and then got stuck on his second attempt.
Dude almost stabbed me but I was able to put a rubber band around his beak and wrap him up in a towel.
Animal Control didn't believe me when I said I caught a loon.. till he got here and opened the box~ xD
Loon's cannot walk in land because their webbed feet are too weak
Poor baby! That call is so mournful!
Maybe a muskrat? Or a raccoon?
Aw, this little guy's situation is upsetting. It's so great that you happened to be around and stopped to help him. Can't imagine what another few hours in that state-confused, lonely, unable to move, exposed-would have been like. I know this video is nearly 10 years old, but good on you. You can tell a lot about a person based on how they treat animals. : )
Scenarios like this happen quite a bit during the summer here in the U.K. - after it rains, the sunlight shining off surface water on tarmac can make roads look like stretches of water to birds in flight, and so it’s not unheard of to see large water birds such as swans come in to land, then get into difficulty getting back into the air since they don’t have enough space to gather the speed required.
I’ve seen swans try to walk on ice to get across the water and the poor things can barely get by - the dominant ones end up fighting each other for ‘water space’
Such a beautiful bird. The loon might have "crash landed" and got separated from it's partner or migratory flock. It seems very confused to not hear a response back from it's other loon(s). Poor Lil guy. I hope they managed to find them again. Thank you for taking the time out of your day/night to look after it! Loons are very, very vulnerable on land (because of their dense bones / inexperience to walk properly with their huge feet) and easy, EASY prey for any predators in the area (Even distracted humans! Since it was stranded in a parking lot, it could have easily been run over by a car 💔) Bless your heart, you did all you could for it. (And the right thing!) Much love and respect for you.
Fortunately it was night shift and I can't remember if it was a holiday or if the plant was in Shutdown Maintenance mode. I was the only one there at the time.
It was heartbreaking to watch it as it didn't get a response. That long, howling call is specifically used to ensure that the loon isn't alone, and still has other loons around. Kinda like a beautiful Marco Polo game.
They're too heavy to walk.
Beautiful loon. I live in Pennsylvania and we had one visit the pond in front of our house for a few weeks. Beautiful sound. Never forget it.
Yes, it is true that Loons cannot walk very well on the ground because their legs are situated farther back on their bodies than any other wayer bird. They are fantastic swimmers, and diving is their feeding/defensive specialty. This person did a huge favor to the stranded Loon and likely saved it's life by getting it to water and releasing it. On land they can be easily taken by a predatory animal or hit by a car. Sir, you did exactly what was best for this unfortunate situation and just ignor the uninformed commenters!
I was today years old when I realised the noises In movies were from this and not a coyote or somethin
I absolutely love this bird species ! The call is soo haunting ! Thanks for sharing and rescuing this little gem ;-)
the other call creeps me out more than the wailing call
I'm glad you added a description, because it really looks like some sort of loon torture and ransom video. Good sir, it's illegal to interrogate loons in this country. 🧐
I did question him but the "patient" was uncooperative with my "medical assessment." lol
Nice story, nice loon. I bet the pavement didn't feel too good, poor guy. Good job though
Almost sounds like a wolf howl
Yogurt yep or saxonian
Loons are Canada's Wolves.
@@blenderbachcgi exactly
@Layton T. Montgomery Yes we do. :)
These comments are like PETA had to puke or something.
Does no one read descriptions anymore? Or are you all too young to read?
People don't read anymore. They knee-jerk everything now.
I agree, I need to read more.. thank you..
They’re too stupid to read, apparently.
What's a descaprition? I've never heard about such thing.
To be honest I read way past your comment everyone did read the description because they were replying to the description I read it looks more like you didn't read the description I don't see how you could have everyone was saying something that describe what the description said or reply to it so I don't know why you think everything sounds like pita
This Loon's Call Is Actually Kind Of Cute.
Thank You SO much for hanging out with him. Anything could've happened by just 'leaving him there.' He's back in the water where he belongs. 💜💜💜
Oh random cool fact about common loons, they sometimes mistake roads and driveways as bodies of water and get stranded. Loons are like a plane, they need a runway of water to take off. They can't take off without water.
That happened to this one, check the description
I love loons!! I live in Maine
They are beautiful animals. I’d be willing to bet this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, to be able to see one up close like this. Glad you were able to help him out.
their call is so hauntingly beautiful when it echoes across water, maybe it's just because they remind me of home, but i feel their call somewhere deep within me. thank you for helping him get to safety :)
Awww thank you for rescuing this precious bird ♥️ I absolutely love loons and grebes!
Awwww bless his heart ----And yours. Thank you for helping him. He's beautiful.
you are so awesome for saving it sometimes they get confused and land on land where they cannot walk again you are awesome for saving it!!!!
Bless your soul for helping this poor bird.
Loons are such beautiful, majestic, & mysterious waterfowl. Sounds like a combination of a wolf🐺 & a whale🐋🐳
Such a poor innocent baby boo.
It was so kind of you to try helping the little guy. That just warms my heart. :)
I'm sorry about the people complaining. They obviously didn't bother to look at the description.
Exactly! I’m so relieved when I read in the description that the loonie was back in its water habitat. That really made my day! ❤️
ITS SO CUTE!!!
Thank you for being a truely humane human and kindly helping a lost animal in the night.
It sounds like a dinosaur! Wait...
This reminds me when I used to go from; one Capitola and Santa Cruz County beach, at night sorting out aluminum cans from out if public municipal beach trash cans. My family first found, a water bird with webbed feet. 👪 👨👧👧 👩👧👧 👨👩👧👦 👨👩👧👧 👨👩👦👦 👪 👩👧👧 👨👩👧👧 👨👩👦👦 👪 🌉 🌙 🌃 🌌 😴 ⛺
I have been searching the source of that beautiful call, that is used in so many japanese themed media, for months. Your video has finally put an end to it.
What's more weird is that loon's wail used in mentioned media for cranes/herons or just a generic japanese garden ambient sound, and I can't still wrap my head around the fact it took me so long to find the source.
Loons don't even seem to live in Japan, what the hell?
Yeah, I wish people would be more accurate with their bird calls in films. For example, in many films, if there is a bald eagle flying over head, they play a Red-tailed Hawk call. If you look up Bald Eagle and Red-tailed Hawk calls, I guess the hawk is supposed to sound more fierce so they use that instead, but I think the eagle sounds just as fierce. And a lot of herons make a sort of grunting call, so that's probably why they don't use the correct call. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a bunch of sounds and they are trying to get people to use them accurately.
You're trying to make sense of something Japanese?
XD
Americans, actually - mistake is present almost in every Japanese THEMED project, starting from small bunch of dedicated animators who've made a lovely Kubo and Two Strings and all up to high-profile production teams, responsible for big blockbuster titles like Wolverine (2013).
Loons migrate from way north to like Texas lmao
Canada is sort of the "North Japan". We also have Maple Leaves and Sakura (Cherry Blossom) like Japan. :)
You did a good thing in helping this creature!
I love loon calls. I find them mournfully soothing. Glad you helped this beauty here, too.
I don’t know why I’m surprised that an animal with it’s legs near the rear of it’s body can’t walk well
good thing you looked after him
crazy loon, the parking lot is for cars
Maybe he got hired by Uber
And he didn't even "park" straight in a space, took up two spaces right on the line, lol.
I've read your story. You did very well, this majestic bird will always remember your kindness when you saved it. Thank you
I heard the Loon call, came as quick as I could.
Poor thing is so lost and confused and scared. Thanks for helping her/him.
Poor thing. Thank you for helping it.
Its funny how these guys are used for creepy sounds but its no different from songbirds tweeting :D
That's a cool-looking bird.
Bless you for helping this loon out. Thanks for filming him too. It's not a bird you often get a chance to be that close to. I love their calls. I find them very peaceful.
Poor loon be like : "where did I parked the car?"
Literally just had the exact same thing happen to me this morning when leaving work 3rd shift! Googled Loon, and this video was one of the first I came across! My co-worker scooped it up and took off t ok get it to water, after speaking to game comission and a wildlife rescue nearby.
Probably shot or attacked by a bird of prey, you can see a bit of blood underneath it. Very glad you rescued that beautiful creature.
I’ve read stories about loons dying like this even after they’re rescued from the injuries to their breast, so thank goodness you helped, ik this vid is 10 years old tho. They’re so top heavy that they can’t walk long distances, just short little spurts between nearby bodies of water. They also need adequate space to take off from. Such cool birds though, love hearing their sound on a calm night.
What a gorgeous little friend.
God bless this man for saving this poor loon! Knowing that the loon was later released back into its natural water habitat made my day ❤️
Thank you for helping the loon. What a beautiful bird.
Loons are an example of animals that are extremely adapted to one type of environment - the poor things don't do well out of water at all. I'm so glad you were there to help it before something bad happened.
He sounds so sad, I just want to give him a stroke and tell him it's all right, dear bird ;-;
Thank you for including the description. Far, far too many people will hurt animals and then film them for clout. You're a good person for helping that Loon.
- *Ring-ring, ring-ring*
-Hello?
-WooooOOOOOoooooooo!
-Stop calling! How did you get my number?
Every Common Loon I see feels like a close family member I would protect. I am so relieved to see the outcome was a positive one.
Your typical bird call is Friday the 13th movie franchise
It's Becky from "Finding Dory"
That's our bird!
We shouldn’t be outside I mean out of the water
read the description
Me talking to feather family:CHANGE LOON CALL
i wish this video had made it onto the voyager disc. aliens should know about this loon
Oh no is that blood🥺
It looks like there’s blood😢😢😢
If y’all can see very carefully his leg was bleeding or something
i was WONDERING why his foot looked wounded (i just read the description). thank you for releasing him safely
The fact that I was only 8 years old when this video was posted
I was 3
Thanks for the description with details! Crazy situation! 😎✌️
Imaging hearing this in a spruce forest at the dead of night.
Hey guys did you know Loon looks like an evil version of the duck?
You definitely have a heart ❤ of gold for animals.
I❤that sound. They very rarely come on land. The reason being that their feet are set so far back on their bodies. Not built for ealking/being on land. They are a water bird, built for swimming/diving. Thanks so much for sharing this w/us ScenePhotos.
;v; poor loon,, I'm glad you helped the bird out!!
I love loons, they're adorable
now that I think of it... I've never actually seen a loon walk before. I always thought they'd waddle like a duck.
Why is its foot bleeding? 😢 (Nevermind it's in the description).
I don't know why but I want one, and after showing my older sister the sound she wants one to.
Loons can not start to fly from land, they need a lot of space in the water. and when the lake is too small, they can never leave and die there... they are not good on land or in the air, but they are amazing divers...
Loons can't really walk on land. They've evolved to where their legs have moved so far back (for better swimming) that they're front heavy, so this guy wouldn't be able to take off if he wanted.
They sometimes crash land on wet pavement like airplane runways or parking lots thinking they are water. :(
They sound beautiful when you are watching them swim in a pond or lake from a cabin near the woods.
Loons can not walk far on land. They need a long runway to take off.
This loon obviously mistook the parking lot for water body. Without help it would have died from lack of water and food. The video poster saved its life. That was a kind act!
Thank you for helping one of Gods Beautiful Creatures
Always wondered what was making those sounds.
Waw such a cute and beautiful bird, never saw one ever before since in my country Loons doesn't life here. Thought for a sec Loon legs were misplaced or something untill i realized it's a normal thing.
Oh no! They aren't supposed to be on land, it needs to be in water, they can't move well on land.
Thanks for doing your best to help him out. Nice to know people care about animals ♥️
Beta alphas be like:
Uhhh why does it look like there’s blood on his foot? Also hes very cute
Looks like it's injured. Not good.
It's Becky from Finding Dory!
Wow, apparently their legs are so far back that they have to scoot along on their chests if they get onto land. So glad you helped them!

Aww, I'm soo glad you helped it. I was worried as soon as I saw the thumbnail because it wasn't in water. I came upon one just like this near my home when i was younger; coming home late from work. I think it thought the puddle in the street was bigger than it was. My mom, thankfully, knew all about them; she loves birds. The one we found was exhausted. I took it home for the night, we gave it something to eat and released it in a creek early the next morning. It seemed to circle back in thanks, before eventually swimming away.
Reading the description made this a lot less concerning.
So loons are related to the extinct hespironis, a proto bird creature that hunted in the open waters and was incredibly clumsy on land due to the positions of their legs. Unlike ducks and other waterfowl, the loon has had an entirley different natural history and while they are very different from their ancestors, some things havent changed
That’s a beautiful loon 😭❤
