I recall a certain early Spring in 1993: we'd been plagued with midnight boat trailer troubles after a straight-through 1900 mile trip .That caused our arrival at our Lake Winnipesaukee camp to move back to 3:30AM, and loons were clearly vocal about their own arrivals at the lake.

The relief of arrival—the happy mutual excitement and joy—was easy to understand. Heck, I felt like yelling!

For those of us who also migrate, I have no trouble identifying with that emotion.
