Best book about loons
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Don't let the size deceive you: this little book by Evers and Taylor has an enormous amount of fascinating information, presented in an organized format. The photos of these magical creatures are incredible, and really enrich the text. The DVD is great, too. The work that these folks are doing is amazing.
Call of the Loon by David C. Evers/Wonderful teaching tool
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book was a wonderful teaching tool for anyone interested in learning about loons. Not only was there a wealth of information in the book, but the addition of the DVD really augmented the learning process. I would recommend this book very highly.
Loved the book, but not the DVD
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The text and photos in this book are excellent, so I highly recommend the book. BUT the accompanying DVD "Loons, Lakes & Mist", which I was very much looking forward to, was a big disappointment. Yes, the live loon webcam captures the loons in special situations. However the constant, loud, pounding, music is all wrong as background for any film about loons. You want quiet, so you can hear the call of the loon. You can turn off the sound, which I suggest you do, but then there is no call of the loon.
Clarity of Call of the Loon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have been giving public nature talks on loons for years and I find Call of the Loon the best researched,up to date source yet. The beautiful photographs illustrate the loon data so the book appeals to all ages. I recommend it daily in my talks.
