Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
As the photographer asks in his introduction: What is it about the presence of loons that excites us? Why is it that the voice of a loon makes one yearn to see it up close? This blend of useful, informative text and lovely closeups of birds that symbolize the North woods helps answer these questions. Loons are birds that prefer solitude, so learning about them can prove difficult for most people. The author describes how to watch loons without interfering in their lives, and provides very understandable descriptions of what the observed postures and calls mean. Six chapters on topics such as finding loons, their family life, and their conservation are full of good, basic information about the lives of this most ancient lineage of birds, and one chapter gives useful tips on photographing them. The color photographs are beautiful in their own right and illustrate well the behaviors described in the text. Overall, a very nice book, recommended for libraries with large collections on birds (and all North woods libraries!). Nancy Bent

Book Description
This special edition of the award-winning Just Loons features a new introduction by David Evers, PhD, a leading researcher of loons, and an interpretive bound-in CD of the haunting calls for which loons are so admired and beloved. The audio CD runs approximately 25 minutes and contains various calls that are referenced on the CD jacket. Featuring stunning photography and insightful natural history text, Just Loons, with its new and extraordinary audio component, remains the ultimate guide to finding, watching, and understanding loons. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
