loon call
Eerie lake sound
A loon call is the distinctive vocalization of the common loon, a diving bird of northern lakes.
Loons produce several calls—the tremolo (a wavering laugh), the wail (a mournful howl), and the yodel—that have become iconic sounds of wilderness settings.
The phrase evokes remote, pristine lakeland: We fell asleep to loon calls echoing across the water.
