Crazy for Loons

The last time we were down at the lighthouse, we stopped to watch this common loon as it fed in the pool near the picnic tables.

Loons always look so drab when they are here. You just have to remember that they are just "cloaking." Here is a  picture that I did not take of a summer loon, somewhere up north. 

This is why seeing one is special. ---And their creepy call. I have heard them here, but only a few times.

Here is a little video of their call.
