Singing with the loons

I spent a lazy day in the kayak on a small mostly undiscovered inland lake.  There were a few fisher people motoring slowly around and I enjoyed drifting and listening to the sounds of the bugs and birds as they sped over the water.  Up ahead on the water I spotted two loons.  I am respectful of wild creatures so did not approach them but simply began singing a little song of greeting wondering if the loons would respond.  And respond they did!  I continued to float where I was as I began to sing and the loons began to swim closer to me.  A dream come true!  As a singer I have loved the beautiful and haunting song of the loons since I was a child.  They seemed to respond to my voice and began to sing along with me.  I felt so honored and humbled.  As I sang, I sent the loons love and gratitude for allowing me to share this experience.  We sang for several minutes and when I stopped my little song they swam off.  I looked up the various loon sounds and discovered that I was hearing the tremolo, which is known as the "crazy laugh".  It can signify alarm or disturbance or even greeting.  My hope is we were greeting each other since the loons approached me of their own volition.  In humility I must admit the possibility of them telling me to go away from their piece of paradise.  But it was a magical moment, one I have dreamed of for many years in my adventures on the waters.  I will treasure this sacred moment with them for the rest of my life.  God's creation is a fascinating, awe-inspiring miracle every time I am open to receiving.  Here is the video I took from my kayak.  Enjoy the loons.
