There were two loons in our still bay. They were quiet during the day when the sun sat behind the gloomy clouds with the humidity perspiring downwards to our armpits and hairlines. But at night, when the cool air blew through the leaves and pine needles, the loons sang to each other. Their calls were wilderness sirens. We sat on our deck many feet above them and could hear them as if they were five feet from us, as if we could touch them. Sometimes we could make them out when the tree line turned blue as sunlight smoldered behind the tall trees, evincing a serene soberness. The pair was often on opposite sides of the bay, and after one called out to the other they silently cut through the water as if it were air itself, speeding towards each other.
