Nighttime Calls

Not much to see here...but the sounds are striking. This series of calls was highlighted in the live stream chat is a great example of what we hear on the lake often. The echoing across the lake at 1:38 is really something! Enjoy.

This video is from a small fishing boat with a 600mm lens. It was a little tough holding it steady and in focus but it provides a nice closeup of the chick swimming alongside mom (or dad).

Dance of the Balloon
Просмотров 1632 месяца назад
This is a wonderful time lapse segment of a hot air balloon dancing across the lake this morning. Lake Fairlee is home to the Post Mills grass airfield with gliders and hot air balloons. It is surprising not to see more of them on the Loon Cam but always nice to see them crossing the lake.

    The late night sounds are so awesome but if I was out on the water at that time and heard those sounds yes, I’d be a bit nervous and not too sure about being out there too. The first sound sounded like a howling wolf or animal of some sort. I do love hearing the sounds of the wild animals out in nature. I do hope the Loon family will be back go have more babies too. God bless! Sue M. Florida ❤️🥰🙏👍🏻❌⭕️
