Pacific Loon

The Pacific loon (Gavia pacifica) is a sleek, medium-sized diving bird of northern lakes and coastal waters, breeding across Arctic and subarctic North America and wintering along the Pacific coast. Its eerie, yodelling calls carry across still water — haunting sounds that birders associate with remote wilderness. In Ambient recordings of temperate wetlands, the Pacific loon adds atmospheric depth and a sense of wild solitude to soundscapes shared with frogs, warblers, and the hush of open water.
