I agree too - that turned head profile is unmistakable. I see them when I am in northern Wisconsin USA in the woods and lake country. I have a family campsite on a river between two lakes, and they regularly fly overhead at twilight, calling as they go. It is a wonderful sound and to many of us is *the* symbol of being 'up north' as we call it. There is a smaller lake attached to the big one that they fly to, that is surrounded by swamp and no people, and I am sure that is where they nest.
How wonderful to see one on Conniston!!! Congratualtions!
