The “Wail” call of the common loon echoing over the calm misty waters of a North Woods lake is haunting.  Perhaps the loveliest loon call, its’ most often used to call to a missing mate or newborn.  Regardless of when or where I hear this call I think “Wilderness.  Even on a busy resort lake the mournful cry sweeps all the clutter away as I visualize sharing a quiet moment on a peaceful, blue, secluded, wilderness lake with these beautiful birds. One of my favorite wildlife subjects I have spent countless hours over the past several years taking thousands of images that capture their behavior and life cycle.  Thse are some of my favorite loon images.
