Being from Maine and on a lake, I grew up around loons. They're my favorite! I miss them. You're so lucky to be surrounded by them. I collect loon decoys, and have a rather nice bunch of 'em, one of which was hand carved by a loon lover in Wisconsin; it cost me a fortune, but it's well worth it. I also have a magnificent huge poster of a loon taken at night over a lake; it's gonna be hung in a special spot at the top of the stairs in the new house.
Do you live near/on a lake? Are there lots of loons that cry out over the lake at night? We have gorgeous Canadian geese up here, but nothing can replace my beloved loons.
