That sound echoing across the lake… 🌙🔊
The Common Loon has one of nature’s most haunting voices. Tremolo, wail, yodel, and hoot. Four calls, each with a different meaning.

Have you ever heard the call of a Common Loon in the morning? 🎶
A quiet morning and several years of practice photographing on a rocking kayak allowed Harry Collins (@harrycollinsphotography) to capture this Common Loon family calling on a lake. He made sure to keep a safe distance so as not to not disturb the loons, as they are very protective of their young.
Harry submitted this fantastic clip to the 2023 Audubon Photography Awards—you can submit your own videos to this year's awards by tapping the link in our bio!
Turn the sound up. 🔊
The haunting call of a Common Loon across a quiet lake. For me, this is the soundtrack of the Canadian wilderness.
Common loon taking flight. Turn up for wing flapping! Amazing speed of these loons! #commonloon #reels #discover_wildlife #visitmaine

Gavia immer — The Majestic Common Loon in Action 🐦💦
#GaviaImmer #CommonLoon #GreatNorthernDiver #Loon #Wildlife
Each year the @americanbirdingassociation picks a Bird of the Year. The bird is chosen to inspire and educate, to spark enthusiasm for birding, and to highlight a conservation challenge or success.
This year’s pick is the Common Loon, or the Great Northern Diver. The only thing common about the Common loon is the ubiquity of its call. The sound of the Common loon is the sound of the outdoors. If you haven’t heard a loon calling in real time, you’ve most certainly heard one on television. They are second only to the call of the Red-tailed hawk as a representative bird sound in popular media.
These large, blocky headed birds with a robust, straight bill, are the largest of the loons commonly found in Oregon. Their plumage is black and white and ornate during breeding seasons and more subdued grays, browns, beige and whites in winter. You can find them along the coast in winter, especially in estuaries, where you can watch them diving after prey.
