*** About Common Loon: The common loon, known scientifically as Gavia immer, is a large aquatic bird famous for its haunting calls and striking black-and-white summer plumage. Native to North America, it is often spotted on quiet freshwater lakes where it dives for fish. The loon is celebrated for its powerful swimming ability and its unique method of taking flight, which involves running atop water to gain momentum. In addition to being an iconic symbol of wilderness areas, the common loon holds cultural significance in Canada, appearing on the country’s one-dollar coin, commonly known as the "loonie."
