Download or read book Loon written by Susan Vande Griek and published by Groundwood Books Ltd. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gorgeously illustrated, lyrical non-fiction picture book about loons. It’s summertime, and as darkness falls there is a haunting sound from the lake — Ooh-hoo-oo, ooh-hoo-oo. It is a loon calling to its family across the water. This lyrical story follows the life cycle of two loon chicks. We see them breaking out of their eggshells, then learning to swim, find food and avoid predators such as snapping turtles and big bass fish. After they learn to fly, they migrate to the ocean. And when their striking black-and-white feathers finally emerge, they fly inland, each to find a new lake territory and mate. Accompanying Susan Vande Griek’s poetic text are Karen Reczuch’s gorgeous illustrations, which show the loons as they grow from tiny downy chicks to majestic adult birds. An afterword provides more information on loons, including their amazing diving ability, the meanings of their calls, and the environmental threats that they face. Also illustrated are five different types of loons and other animals that can be found in their lake habitat. The illustrations were researched in the Ornithology Collections at the Royal Ontario Museum, and Ron Ridout of Bird Studies Canada consulted on the text.

Download or read book Loon Lessons written by James D. Paruk and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of the common loon, from biology to behavior, from one of the world’s foremost observers of the revered waterbird Even those who know the loon’s call might not recognize it as a tremolo, yodel, or wail, and may not understand what each call means, how it’s made, and why. And those who marvel at the loon’s diving prowess might wonder why this bird has such skill, or where loons go when they must leave northern lakes in winter. For these and so many other mysteries, Loon Lessons provides evolutionary and ecological explanations that are curious and compelling. Written by one of the world’s foremost experts on the subject, the book is a compendium of knowledge about the common loon and an engaging record of scientific sleuthing, documenting more than twenty-five years of research into the great northern diver. James D. Paruk has observed and compared loons from Washington and Saskatchewan to the coasts of California and Louisiana, from high elevation deserts in Nevada to mountain lakes in Maine. Drawing on his extensive experience, a wealth of data, and well-established scientific principles, he considers every aspect of the loon, from its plumage and anatomy to its breeding, migration, and wintering strategies. Here, in the first detailed scientific account of the common loon in more than thirty years, Paruk describes its biology in an accessible and entertaining style that affords a deeper understanding of this beautiful and mysterious bird’s natural history and annual life cycle.

Download or read book Little Loon on the Lake written by Debbie Delung Reinertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The awe-inspiring Common Loon with its haunting primitive call echoing across the water, reminds us of the inner knowledge that we are close to and part of the earth. Although chicks leave the nest almost immediately and are able to swim, they are dependent on the adults to be fed and protected until they learn to fish and to be on their own. After its flight south for the winter, in the following spring, the bird that began life as a fluffy chick bobbing on the water returns to the northern lakes as an elegant adult to once more use its innate abilities and claim its place on the lake and in our hearts, as the spirit of the north. As the reader goes through each experience with the chick, one will be led on the path to awareness, and developing and strengthening one's own natural intuitive power and confidence in new and challenging situations. Through the Little Loon's trust of inner feelings and direct knowing, the reader sees how they too can access and benefit from this source of information at every step. Little Loon on the Lake is for ages 4 and up and follows the life of a loon chick from birth to its flight as it migrates south. The reader witnesses the delights and dangers experienced by the chick as it learns from its parents - good habits, strengths, diet, who their enemies are, and coping skills - all methods to survive and thrive through outer and inner guidance. This story also assures children, through the loon's experiences, that all is right within our world. There is that special time when children realize the protective adult in their life cannot always be with them, or there may be events of which they are unsure. Children can emotionally relate to and share the loon's confidence in the world within which we live, honing innate abilities that assist in coping with life changes and challenges. Little Loon on the Lake serves as a professional and parenting tool to teach children appreciation and confidence in themselves and their world. This story lends itself to thematic teaching with possibilities for activities that will expand environmental awareness as well as emotional and intuitive attentiveness.
