Desc | The tremolo..An early morning capture of a parent loon on a perfectly still and quiet pond. Except the loon was doing its tremolo call probably because he wasn't happy by my presence. Their chick had hatched just recently and these parents were very skittish. I was far away, on my motionless kayak tucked up against the shore, and the mom and chick were clearly safe (on the other side of the island, behind this parent, and not even visible). Nevertheless, I was being "yelled at". (Same loon family as my recent loon posts.). .Although you can tell the loon is making a sound, I wish the tremolo call could be part of the viewing experience. If you are curious, this site has various loon calls, including the tremolo, click here . Among birds in North America, the loon must have one of the most interesting repertoire of vocalizations.. .The red halo of a reflection around the loon comes from the roof of a small cabin on the other side of the pond. A fortunate "planetary alignment" experience. I like how it matches the red eye of the loon. |
