If you love loons (as I do), you'll appreciate this book. Beautiful photos on each page are accompanied by tidbits of loon knowledge and lore that bring the birds to life. They are truly fascinating birds, and nothing compares to the haunting sound of a loon on a remote lake in the wilderness.

Great book. Beautiful pictures, easy to read and digest. Loons are really cool and fun birds. I am obsessed with the fact that the baby loons ride on their parents' backs.
