I love loons too, but since they have survived for a very long time, I would not call them stupid. We all are just trying to make it to the next day :)
BEHOLD! 'Tis a metaphor of me pleasing my parents! And "how," did you ask, "how did you please you wife?" HERE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lnow7TzUT6s.html
Quite rare, but it is not albino, it is referred to as “Leucistic” meaning a lack of some pigment, but not all. The beak is still black and so are the feet.
@@worldofnature6731 Yes indeed. I live in Utah so don't have any access to birds, nature, lakes, and fishing holes so I'm watching internet. Thanks for bringing a cool view of your neck of the woods. Australia?
@@Worldofourown2024 I live in British Columbia Canada, and am fortunate to get out into the wilderness and enjoy myself often :) Thanks for watching my video, I have quite a few of them, so check out some more.
This white color is caused by a gene mutation, and is called “leucism” or “leucistis” meaning that is missing the dark pigment necessary for the usual color. I only learned about this sense coming across this loon at one of the local little lakes. I have spent hours photographing it as well :) It is pretty cool to see.
@@arcadia4691 ya, and it is not just birds, deer, crows, lions, and many others animals can be affected by it. Some are only partially white, while others will be completely white. It is different from albinos because the eyes are not that weird red, but will be their normal color
I've never seen a bluebird like that before. I've seen an Eastern Bluebird, but it's not that, if I recall correctly. Update; that's a mountain bluebird. For a while, I lived in Montana, and even then I haven't seen one. Common in and around the Rocky Mountains.
We have many many Magpies here, and I was blow away at all the sounds they are capable making. I am in south east BC Canada, in the Columbia Valley, and it certainly is a beautiful place. I fly a drone as well as all my other camera hobbies, and have done quite a few drone videos in this area.
@@worldofnature6731 I'm guessing you hadn't heard the call of a Sandhill Crane, huh? I say that, as it's a rather unusual deep, throaty call. I can produce it rather well.
Oh, I've seen that before. In weather terminology, they're called "Sun dogs" Ice crystals in clouds produce this effect. Always had an interest in weather, specifically severe weather.
I was in far Northern Wisconsin, about an hour from the state line of the Upper peninsula of Michigan. I was sitting on the edge of a pier fishing. Had a couple loons arrive not far from where I was fishing. For a good portion of my life, I was a birder. So I kept fishing, and they were there for a while, we were just there, living. Had a good view of them. When I heard their call for the first time, I was just a child.
Time with loons are very special moments, I am so happy you got to enjoy the time you had with them. I have a few other loon videos, including one with a white loon. You should check it out :)
Loon calls are the sound of my childhood and any time I hear it I am instantly brought back to the cabin on the lake in northern Mn. I love loons. Can’t express it enough.
Yes, it takes loons quite the distance to achieve take off. If they land on a pond that is too small, they can actually get stuck, and not be able to take off…. Thank you for watching, and the comment :)
Not good at all Geri. Someone has placed some meat in front of one of my cameras as well, as there has apparently been a cougar in the area. I figure they may have been trying to “help” gets capture of it. As a 61 year old woman, who goes to to check my cameras alone, the LAST thing I want is an added danger to me, and also the people that live close by to my camera locations.
I had a loon pop up right next to my canoe. The bird was unafraid, stared me down as we passed. Each night their erie calls would fill the growing darkness. BWCA
How awesome to have one pop up right beside you, I have experienced that before. The white loon has been here for years now, and is quite the sight to see.
@@worldofnature6731 Is the white loon an albino or just white? I've seen albino deer with the pink eyes and skin and saw deer that just had a white coat. Such beauty blesses us. BWCA
@@indioloco6600 The loon is what is called “Leucistic” , :Leucism (/ˈluːsɪzəm, -kɪz-/) is a wide variety of conditions that result in the partial loss of pigmentation in an animal-causing white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales, or cuticles, but not the eyes. It is occasionally spelled leukism. I have some pretty cool photos of the white loon too…..
Indio Loco, here is another video of the white loon, you can get a good look at him/her ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C4ZoZlMSiDM.html
