Wisconsin Loons adopt Mallard duckling

[Wstar425]

If you’ve never heard the haunting call of a loon echoing across a lake, you’ve missed one of the more unique things in life. Interesting story.
Lived, worked, and raised our family in Oneida County for 25 years, much of it on a lake. Now live a couple of counties south and west without much water, so it has been a few years since I’ve heard them as well.

Here’s a sample, tho it’s not the same. Sound kind of comes from everywhere and nowhere at the same time and sorta makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck, in the dark.

I used to work at a summer camp in the Adirondack Mts. I miss the sound of those loons, pure summer.

I love the long slow call of a single loon echoing across the lake, but it's also really cool when several loons get going and they're all making that loud laughing-type call, that builds to a crescendo and then they all go silent.

If you hang out by certain lakes here in Indiana in the spring, you'll have a good chance of spotting a loon in migration. A few times I've even heard them call.
