Not the same loon our granddaughter Willow was talking to a week or two ago, but still quite content pose for the camera.
Here's a re-post of the link to "Willow the Loon Whisperer" if you're interested and missed it last time: https://youtu.be/9mvSjU5FRpI. In the first several seconds she's calling and before long, the loon answers back and they go on from there.
And here's some info from the Cornell website, if you're interested: "Like many young birds, juvenile loons are really on their own after mom and dad leave at about 12 weeks. The parents head off on migration in the fall, leaving juveniles to gather into flocks on northern lakes and make their own journey south a few weeks later. Once the juveniles reach coastal waters on the ocean, they stay there for the next two years. In the third year, young loons return north, although they may not breed for several more years (on average they are six years old when they start breeding)."
