your video is beautiful.

ha!
We used to torment our dog with some of the nature sound CDs that included orchestra music. She'd run to the window and look out, as that's where the wolves that were howling should be. Then back to the stereo speaker and look, as that's where the sound was coming from. Back to the window ... back and forth!!!!! Poor dog ... at times we'd play the CD just for entertainment in watching her!!!

Maybe someone from Ontario knows of a vacation spot I could go, to find loons?

How late in the season do they stay around? And where do they go for the winter?

Great video. Surprized to see them group up.

Thanks for the video! I've never seen that many loons together - must have been a family. Usually only hear one or two on the lake. Such a haunting cry...
