Loons
Description
"never before captured on film....
an unforgettable glimpse...the essence of this wilderness bird."
Peter A.A. Berle
President, National Audubon Society
This is the story of one family of Common loons from the day the adults return to their traditional nesting island to the day they lead the chicks away. In this remarkable film, Peter Roberts captures the most intimate of loon behaviors — a territorial fight between a loon and a beaver, a mating scene, and a fight between chicks to establish dominance.
A brief narrative relaxes you and assists in your escape to the northern woods. Detailed notes attached to the video jacket provide insights on behaviors depicted in the film. The body of the film features pure natural sounds free of music or narration.
The call of the loon and the Lake Region's natural ambience will transform your easy chair into a comfortable seat at the water's edge.
Peter Roberts' still photographs of loons have appeared in National Wildlife, Sierra, Smithsonian, and Natural History magazines, and a variety of books on the Common loon.
