Common loon<br />
The ca l that most people<br />
a sociate with loons is the<br />
wail, a long, drawn-ou twoor<br />
three-note ca l that loons<br />
use to communicate with each<br />
other abou their location.<br />
Hoots are very short, soft<br />
ca ls. Members of a pair use<br />
hoots and soft “mew ca ls”<br />
as courtship ca ls or to ca l a<br />
chick to feed.<br />
The tremolo is a “flight<br />
ca l” and i sometimes heard if<br />
a loon is flying overhead.<br />
The yodel is an aggre sive<br />
te ritorial ca l given only by<br />
When a chick is in distre s,<br />
the parents wi l also be quite<br />
upset, and wi l expre s their<br />
agitation with tremolos, wails,<br />
and yodels.<br />
