A loon has the absolutely worst day ever.
Raptor Education Group Inc (you can find the post on facebook) says there is a "Loon Fallout" happening currently in Wisconsin due to the weather conditions causing loons to crash land. If your in that area and you see a Loon throw a towel over it and get it to a rehab so they can check it over and release it into an appropriate body of water. Don't throw them in ponds as they need quite a large body of water to get air borne. They cannot walk but their beaks can be dangerous so be careful.

Two Loons, 2023
A baby quilt I made for a friend. I learned a lot making this.
The message around the border is encoded in 5-bit binary and reads clockwise, "I AM BUT 2 DAYS OLD INFANT JOY", minus most spaces.

Loon bird. Their calls are so spooky but they're really cool.
Trying a screen recorder instead of the built in time-lapse recorder. I'm having a blast with a free video editor.

BOTD: Arctic Loon
Tumblr media
Photo: Alexey Nesmelov
"The Old World counterpart to our Pacific Loon, entering North America mainly as an uncommon summer resident in far western Alaska. The two are very similar, and until recently they were combined as one species under the name 'Arctic Loon.' The true Arctic Loon (of the form found in eastern Siberia and western Alaska) is larger than the Pacific Loon, but its habits are similar."
- Audubon Field Guide

Today's beast is a family pendant, a loon and her babby. Waterfowl giving their offspring little rides is one of the most charming things nature has to offer.
If you'd like a pendant, please check out Bittythings and Beasts. If you are within Canada, please make sure to grab what you'd like by this weekend for the best chance of getting them for the 25th.
