This is a very special time of year. Most migratory birds have returned to their Sring/summer nesting grounds. For the past week or two the loons have also returned to the lakes and ponds here in the Kawarthas. Their call haunts me and I feel I need to always look when they yodel. The Loon catches its food by swimming underwater propelled by their feet, sometimes diving to a depth of 200ft.. Sharp backwards facing teeth and barbs on their tongues help to get a tight grasp on thier food so it dosn't slip away.
