They were vocalizing just before the thunder-and-lightning-storm we had in the wee hours of Friday (about 3 am). I just love that sound. Kinda soothing and so beautiful to hear.jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598544917785126150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-4147307602894298732009-08-29T11:40:55.740-04:002009-08-29T11:40:55.740-04:00Rainfield: Will do!

Thanks.<br /><br />Ratty: Yes, since I am gone and did a prepublish, it worked well to do this when I was going to be gone.<br /><br />Dreamwalker: I don't think I have seen a guinea fowl. You will have to take some pictures of one.<br /><br />Bernie: Thanks! There will be one more posting of them tomorrow. My granddaughter Miranda's birthday is Sunday, but we are having a birthday party today. Should be fun.<br /><br />Cathy: They never made a peep when we were there. I wish they would have, I would love to hear them.<br /><br />DJan: Thanks. I am glad they are automatically posting the way they were supposed to, as we have been busy on our trip. There will be one more post with them tomorrow.<br /><br />Ashley: Thanks!

So haunting!<br /><br />ScrappyDO: yes, I love hearing them and seeing them.<br /><br />Shelley:We did not see a baby and we watched them for a long time. It was on Arflin Lake in Marquette County. They were the only two we saw. The next day we saw ONE lone one on Michigamme Lake (where we live) but it was too far away for me to get a good picture of it. These are the only three loons we have seen this summer.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-85065422761610504342009-08-28T20:52:23.540-04:002009-08-28T20:52:23.540-04:00This was a bonus post for me since Loons are my ab...This was a bonus post for me since Loons are my absolute favorite birds!! Loved these pics!! Did they have a baby w/ them or nearby? Which lake did you see them on? (Yes, I'm trying to control my excitement but I'm always eager to hear loon reports especially due to their declining population. I do the reports for my lake.) :-)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534904024320623895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-51465565122947871332009-08-28T18:58:50.655-04:002009-08-28T18:58:50.655-04:00Beautiful!
