Close Encounters with the Common Loon

Larry L. Cox's Close Encounters with the Common Loon is an intensely personal, sometimes humorous, sometimes reverential account of his adventures with northern loons over decades in both remote wilderness areas and on recreational lakes. Through these close encounters came deep experience. His observations fostered learning; learning kindled passion; and passion led Cox to a feeling of responsibility for the future of loons, which he shares with readers. The book is filled with both full-color and black-and-white photography, and it features a foreword by Harry S. Vogel, head biologist and executive director of the Loon Preservation Society.
