Living on a lake in Alaska, we enjoy the sounds of the loons day and night. They nest not far from our home, so it's a joy to watch them fishing and raising their families. It's always sad when the cold weather arrives, and they leave to head south. The common loons come back here every year to nest, so we will enjoy having another summer of bird watching. One summer, the loons warned me of an approaching bear by doing their "look out, something bad is coming" call. Indeed, it was a nice sized grizzly bear! I was quite grateful to the loons!
