@wanderblest: ✨ This morning I had one of the most special wildlife encounters of my life. This mama loon and her baby came right up to me in my kayak while I was fishing for rainbows. Hearing the call of the loon from only a few feet away gave me full body chills, and had my heart racing 💓 you can even hear me gasping in this video 😱🥰 oh Alaska how I adore you
Loons are my absolute favorite waterfowl! I have a couple that hang out on the river in my backyard.

Their voices resonate so far, I can’t imagine what it felt like that close!

Not to be that person, but you can tell that it’s actually in distress by the squared off puffed out forehead typically their heads are sleek, but when they feel that they’re in danger, they puff up their foreheads and elongate their neck to appear bigger

A loon has stabbed a bald eagle through the heart. I would be terrified especially seeing the baby.

Once had one flop onto the front of my paddleboard, I have never sat so still in my life-- it's absolutely magical.

One time I was in my canoe and a loon called and I recorded it and played it back for it and we just kept singing back and forth for a while and it was honestly magical

You could tell she was looking for her baby and was upset. When baby surfaced she was fine

Why was I waiting for two women to come out of the water with wine glasses and wine bottle?
