    Default Loon Call

    This effectively makes the loon my favorite bird. It's calls are just surreal and creepy but still beautiful in a haunting and unearthly way.

    They also make that one warbling sound that you hear in movies all the time.

    loons are pretty much incredible
    When the Devil is too busy
    And Death's a bit too much
    They call on me by name you see,
    For my special touch.

    I've thrown rocks at birds that sound like that.

    I never knew what made that sound and have tried my damndest to find out but I never could. And I found out looking for something completely different.
