loon calls
Eerie lake cries
Loon calls are the distinctive vocalizations of the common loon, a waterbird found on North American lakes.
These calls include the tremolo (a wavering laugh-like sound), the wail (a long, mournful cry), the yodel (a complex territorial call), and the hoot (soft sounds between family members).
Loon calls are iconic sounds of wilderness lakes, often evoking solitude and northern landscapes.
We fell asleep to loon calls echoing across the water.
