Loons are one of my favorite birds, I miss their eerily echoing haunting cries over the lake that I remember from my childhood up north. Every evening we would hear them as the sun was setting. I would always stop and just listen.
@@oishidas443 it depends if there's any in your area. The fun thing is with you tube you can find all sorts of animal sounds to hear what they sound like. Check lyre bird, it can mimic many sounds, very interesting.
I have heard their calls. One time a nesting pair were in a irrigation reservoir. When it was drained the adults had to leave but the chick could not fly. I found her and rescued her. It was a once in a lifetime event.
Your footage of birds, deer, owls and other creatures are great to watch, learn from and enjoy. Appreciate you sharing the videos it takes many hours to film, edit and post. Looking forward to seeing what the new year brings us from your work and camera lens. Stay safe and good filming to you. 🎥💪🏽💯👍
Thanks so much for the kind words, Joel - really appreciate it. Hopefully have some new content up soon. Shed season has begun, but need to get my trail cams out to some new spots in the next little while. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words, Mira, and glad you enjoyed the footage. Yes, I try to keep my videos as natural as possible in terms of background sound. Only time I will add music is if the wind noise if horrendous, as it isn't so fun to listen to that howling. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so very much for this wonderful filming of one of my favourite birds ,There calls are just so soothing I listen to them when I need to completely relax and sleep ? To see the Mother loon on her nest was simply stunning and her Beautiful chick ,The sounds of the wilderness the scenery divine ,I imagined laying beside the cool water hearing there calls Divine looking forward to more Loons love Yvonne Cornwall Mullion England
Thanks so much for the kind words, Yvonne - very much appreciated. Yes, loons are such wonderful birds, and their call is one of a classic Canadian wilderness. I should be out on my boat next week, and will be checking on the nest sites. Hopefully they have returned once again, like they have the past five years I have been monitoring them, and I can capture some more video footage. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching :)
@@JustinHoffman oh I look forward so much to seeing your next video I had no idea loons migrated I will look up to see where there home is . I was looking forward to seeing all the swallows returning to the lake and watching them swoop down even when swimming they would swoop down beside , Sadly thousands perished in a storm ,I could not put into words how this made me feel I have visited Africa where the swallows swoop down on the Rhinos and Hippos it's beautiful. Enjoy you boat trip checking nests sight Best wishes Yvonne Cornwall on the Lizard mullion
Hello Justin I hope your doing well in these Covid times Are you fil. ING the Loons this spring march 30th 2021 I had visitors on the lake 2 Beautiful Canadian Geese they come go I'm hoping they nest and have sucssful hatching of cute bundles Hope to hear from you Yvonne Mullion Cornwall England 🏴
Great news on your Goose visitors! Hopefully they nest and give your some little fluff balls to watch and enjoy. I'd say we are still a few weeks away from our loons returning. I'll know when I get the boat in the water in about a month's time. Looking forward to that! It's been a long winter. Folks were still ice fishing only last week on lakes just north of me! Take good care :)
A beautiful & powerful sound from these birds. May I add most certainly not common over our way as they have remarkable coloured feathers & their calls are massive. Thank you from me in Australia
I've been seeing loon-looking birds fly over my pond but they honk like geese when they fly. Are they loons or are they geese? Geese wouldn't dare to land on the water, though, because the loons will beat the snot out of them! lol Also, the other night, the loons on my pond were making a totally panicked sound and then I heard something walking out of the water--pitch black dark, though, so I couldn't see. Do you think it was a moose? Lynx? Bear? After the thing walked out of the water, the loons calmed down and were silent.
Tough to say what you're seeing without more of a description. Geese are definitely vocal when flying. As for the night visitor, could very well have been any of those animals. Anything out of the ordinary, or what a loon might perceive as danger, and this birds will make a fuss. Sounds like a great pond you have!
@@JustinHoffman Thank you so much for answering. I was wondering if loons made any calls when they fly but I guess without a better pair of binoculars, I'm not going to know. lol And yes, that night visitor sure did wake them all up! I've rarely heard them get so upset. I felt bad because I know they might have babies in the nests this time of year but I hope the big animal was just getting a drink and not hunting for loon eggs. Again, thank you for your input. I appreciate it. And yes, my pond is amazing, thank you! (Rural Maine).
Hi Yvonne - Currently on the water as we speak photographing and filming a loon family, whose chick hatched just two days ago. Some wonderful images captured, and hopefully when I review the footage, a new video will be posted. Stay tuned :)
@@JustinHoffman oh wonderful justin look forward to seeing family loons Its very wintery here just fed baby pheasant I was worried had not seen her for a while I just watched one of your films of Muma loon Best wishes Yvonne Marshall

Wonderful memories, Nicole. Yes, they are truly special. Love spending time with them out on the river :) Thanks for watching!
what happened that caused you to miss loons?
@@oishidas443 we moved and here you never hear them.
@@nicoleperron3315 i feel like i once heard it near a wheat field but that's just likeliness that gives me such probably wrong memory

Great work Nolan!
@@JustinHoffman,thank you.
This was single handedly the best background noise to get drunk to, many thanks Justin, look forward to many more house parties bumping this shit
Haha! Have a cold one for me, buddy ;)
They are so beautiful and cute.
Glad you enjoyed the video - and thanks for watching!

Wonderful video clips, and I especially appreciate the fact, that there is no music underneath.

Thanks for a awesome video. I'm sure I will watch it many times.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Bill - cheers!
🌿 Beautiful clips, top quality video! A joy to watch 🌿
Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed the footage 😊
Stunning video
Cheers, Benno!
These loons still mate for life?
Amazing compilation 👍🏿
Yes, most mate for life, unless an intruder loon (often younger) drives off an older bird.
Cheers!
@@JustinHoffman wow.
Cheers🍻
Very nice, thank you.
