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 :)
Interesting. I just found a cormarant skeleton in the back yard near the lake. The bones are fluffy light weight. I'm happy I've never found a loon skeleton. There was a dead eagle on the shore when we first moved in here.
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.
@@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?
@@TUBESPECIFIC1 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.
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 :)
Would I be able to use this video in an educational bird video for the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History? You would be credited as the author.
Hello Austin, You are more than welcome to use the video for your educational project. I checked out your channel, and you have no content, so, I just gotta say, I am not sure I believe you....and that this is some kind of new scam..... So, if it is possible to get a bit more info I would really like that. I have more than one cool loon video too,( just not posted here) that you may have an interest in as well. I even have a few video clips and photos of a Leucistic loon.
@@worldofnature6731 Apologies, this is my personal account. You can check out the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History (UMMNH on RU-vid) to see some of our content. This video would likely be used in a program for 3rd-5th graders, addressing science standards of interdependent relationships in ecosystems.
@@austinteholiz6805 Thank you Austin, I will definitely check it out. You are more than welcome to use any video of mine that you like, and if there is anything in particular you may be looking for, let me know, I have a fairly impressive library here at home.
