From the Publisher
This charming, yet realistic look at wildlife perfectly captures the allure of the elusive loon.
The male bird Loon and his mate hatch two loonlings and live on a sheltered island for a summer protecting them for prey. The four birds survive the summer and at the end of the season Loon leaves for his winter home. He will reunite with his mate next summer on the same lake. but their grown loonlings will find other lakes on which to live.
The birds are portrayed realistically, both in the text and in the vivid watercolor illustrations.
