This beautifully photographed book captures the loon in the wild. While celebrating the many species of loons, the authors examine the science behind the myths. Why is the loon so awkward on land, yet so graceful in the air and water? Do loons really mate for life, and is there really only one pair of loons to every lake? The informative text addresses all aspects of the Ioon’s biology, behavior, and environment. Includes over 120 full-color photos by some of the best loon and nature photographers in North America.
