What are wail and tremolo
sounds of the Common Loon? |
|
|
|
The tremolo has been
described as "insane laughter"; it is 8 to 10 notes voiced
rapidly which vary in frequency and intensity.
This is the only call that loons make in flight. |
|
Hear what the loon's
tremolo sounds like!

|
The wail is most frequently
given in the evening or at night, and can be heard for many
miles. This haunting call is not an alarm call but is used to
keep in contact with other loons on the same lake and
surrounding lakes. |
