DESCRIPTION: In Loons, get a collection of the strange and mythical calls of Common and Red-throated Loons. Common Loons are beautiful birds with evocative calls that sing across the boreal lakes of North America and Iceland. Red-throated Loons are their grumpy cousins that bring a nasal cacophony to any soundscape. These birds add a haunting quality to the soundscapes of the far north and hearing their wails echo across still water has been one of the greatest pleasures I've had as a field recordist.
