I'm not sure it's a loon, so tell me what it is if not a loon. In this 33 second clip, you hear the bird reacting to the very instant of sunrise and see the sun pop into view.

Video made at 6:39 this morning on Lake Mendota.

Ken B म्हणाले...: Sounds like a loon. So does Achilles though.; २/४/२१, १२:३४ PM
Ficta म्हणाले...: I'm by no means an expert but it sounds like a Common Loon to me. You can listen to the call at the Cornell Ornithology website and see what you think.; २/४/२१, १२:३९ PM
Eleanor म्हणाले...: It doesn't sound mournful enough to be adult loons. A closer shot of the bird would help identify. Maybe it's a juvenile loon. They sound like this- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f3Xrqx6xKw; २/४/२१, १२:४३ PM

Carol म्हणाले...: For some reason closed captions is playing Oldies but Goodies lyrics over the streaming Bloomberg site that comes with TV Plus. So while they're talking about inflation or something you see the words to Teen Angel.

I miss cable TV already.; २/४/२१, १:५३ PM

Jaq म्हणाले...: It's kind of funny to hear loon calls in movies in the background in desert settings or whatever, places where you would never see a loon, but their calls are just too perfect, I guess. The other birds need to up their game.; २/४/२१, २:२४ PM

Quaestor म्हणाले...: Yup, loon.

Loons are night feeders and pairs call to each other throughout the hours of darkness, much like owls do. I don't think the loon was reacting to the sunrise directly, it was saying basically Honey, it's bedtime. Where are you?; २/४/२१, ४:५४ PM
Lurker21 म्हणाले...: When I first got here, the video was of Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz.

I figured that the interview must have been even weirder than I though.

Now there is a lake video.

I suppose it's easier to find the loon there than in the clip from Tucker's show.; २/४/२१, ५:२२ PM
