Love of Loons

Who doesn't love loons? The eerie "laugh" heard, the magnificent display, the lumbering takeoff for flight and the fluffy chicks riding piggyback on their parents are images ingrained in popular culture. Combining their years as naturalists and educators, Crowley and Link introduce you to the real bird behind the images.

A scientifically accurate yet comfortably readable text--including legends and stories about loons--accompanied by spectacular photography, shows the loon's relationship to its family, its environment, other animals, and humans. A list of loon organizations, extensive bibliography, and index make this a valuable resource tool.
