Ceramic Loon Whistle & Sculpture
Regular price $80.00
All sculptures are made from Maine 'blue' clay, dug out of our back field. This whistle, made with love, celebrates the unique sounds of loons and their beautiful shapes and black and white patterns. The call of a loon on a moonlit night, often growing into a chorus, is the sound and soul of Maine's lakes. Loons have different calls: The wail communicates across long distances and seems to be saying, "Here I am! Where are you u u u?" Wails can have one, two, or three notes and seem to vary with each loon. The laughing call, the tremolo, sounds the alarm. When you hear the tremolo, it means the loon is threatened, and you should give it some distance. The loon may be protecting a nearby nest or chick. A loon will also make a big display, calling and flapping its wings, to lure you away from its chick. Loons also sound the tremolo when they are flying.
How to play your loon whistle: The play the wail, put your finger over the hole and blow. Then lift your finger to play the higher
