Loons: Treasured Symbols of the North

by Wayne Lynch

Acclaimed wildlife photographer, Wayne Lynch, focuses on the five species of loons - the red-throated loon, the look-alike Pacific and Arctic loons, the familiar neck-laced common loon and the yellow-billed loon, the largest and rarest member of the family. While the common loon has been studied more than the other four species combined, this book will give a wider scope and reach for all five species. A perfect book for those who live in loon country and want a better understanding of the birds with which they live as well as for those who visit loon country and are eager to interpret their wilderness experience. The book is also for those who may never see a loon but who nonetheless want these birds to survive because they unfailingly fuel the human imagination and spirit.

Such a great book! The photos are what initially attracted me to the book. Intimate and striking shots that make you want to stare and flip page to page to see more. But what really kept me interested was all the great facts and stories about the loons. I really didn’t expect to enjoy reading it as much as I did and learning so many new things. I would say it’s a great choice for a “all you need to know about loons” book. It’s a perfect balance between beautiful photos, enjoyable stories, and learning new things.
10/10 would recommend!
