Experience a loon hatchling take to the water for the first time (@1:55), an adult male yodel (@2:35) and loon parents feeding their young (@4:56).
Wildlife photographer Tim Laman and family travel to Mount Desert Island, Maine to film the early lives of Common loons. Told by his daughter, Jessica, the Lamans document a unique look at the intimate bond between Loon parents and their young. It's an amazing collection of loon calls and behavior.

What a great film 👏. I live in the UK and I've always wanted to hear the loons calling after watching the film On Golden Pond. Hopefully I'll make it over once this pandemic has finally come to an end as your film inspired me to actually do what I said I would do 40 years ago.

I'm a subscriber & just shared some of these vid's with my family who live in central NY, where we have many fresh water lakes. I summer in the Adirondacks but the lake I'm on is a reservoir with fluctuating water levels so although we have loons visit in the summer, sadly, they do not nest. I have such peace watching these vid's & I love the info on my adored birds. Thank-you!

This was absolutely lovely - loons are some of my FAV birds, and I also associate them with quiet evenings on a lake in the Adirondacks or Maine. I am thrilled to report that there is now a loon living all the way east in Walden pond in Mass! Although I believe he or she was a transplant. He or she seems unphased by the pond’s overcrowding, so far anyway.

@johnwelchphotography Ай бұрын

Did the loons at Walden Pond you mentioned actually have chicks? Just curious, never heard of them nesting so far south.

Fabulous video work and great story telling! Oddly I spent several weeks every summer as a kid on MDI and hiking up Echo Lake cliffs and around Hadley Pond, but never saw or heard loons. Perhaps less common in late 60’s - 70’s? Also would love to know what type of camera your dad shoots with? That’s a massive zoom lens!
