My partner Pat and I were sitting on her 3rd floor balcony yesterday at Delmanor Retirement Residence in Aurora, just north of Toronto, Ontario, when we were alerted by her cell phone that one of the birds being recorded on her cell phone was a Common Loon (Gavia immer). This was after several songbirds had already been identified. I was surprised by this revelation. I, like many people, am used to the unmistakable and haunting yodelling cry of loons on south-central Ontario lakes. I had no idea they made a sound anywhere else. I can't wait to hear the Common Loon's evocative cry on a lake somewhere and sometime later this summer.
Please comment if you wish.
