Common Loon. I recently visited granddaughter in Minneapolis. We both enjoy birds, so we headed for the lake. Common Loon is the state bird, so we hunted for one. While visiting Bde Maka Ska Park, we saw something bobbing up and down in the distance. A zoom and the trusty Merlin Bird app revealed this immature loon. Lucky us!

Love them and their beautiful call.
ReplyDelete...the loon is the sound of the wild.
ReplyDeleteWhich lake? I've lived in Minneapolis for a long time. Lake of the Isles is my favorite. We just biked the greenway and around all the lakes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! I love their call as well...soothing and haunting, hard to describe, but I love the sound!
