"..Grasping a flounder in its beak, a common loon floats in rippling, dull, blue-green water. The bird's back is covered in checkered black and white stripes. Its neck has tightly packed vertical black and white stripes that are separated by a thick band of iridescent blue-green. Its smooth head is black and shines with a faint iridescent blue-green. Water droplets stick to its face and head. Its eyes are large, round, and bright red."

Floating on greenish water, a common loon flattens its body; its head appears black from certain angles and dark green from others, its bold red eyes are large and circular, its beak is large, black, and pointed, and its back has a black-and-white checkered pattern. 📷 Canon R5 Mk II Canon RF100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM Canon RF 1.4x Extender Av, f/10, 1/320, ISO 1600, 700mm 4/11/26 Northern Oregon Coast

How big is a diver? S-o-o-o-o big! #birdphotography #birdsofrhodeisland #littlecompton
A Common Loon, aka Great Northern Diver, is stretching is wings as it bares its breast. Taken in April, this bird is in the final stages of molting into breeding plumage and will soon depart for northern lakes.

A common loon in bright sunlight looks almost directly at the camera. The lower half of its bright red left eye catches the light, making it look like a gemstone. Its colors are dull gray, brown, and white. Water splashes on its back from the slightly choppy water around it. 📷 Canon R5 Mk II Canon RF100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM Av, f/7.1, 1/640, ISO 640, 500mm 5/4/25 Northern Oregon Coast

Common Loon · № 009

Unlike most birds, loons have relatively solid bones. The extra density costs them in the air but lets them sink and dive with barely a ripple.

The beautiful Loon! (Gavia immer) found in Minnesota no less where it's the state bird. These birds are usually found in twos per lake, minus offspring of course. #Mobelha-grande #loon #commonloon #birding #ornithology #minnesota

Newfound Home
Swimming alone, now in unfamiliar waters far from home.
Driven away by fire and smoke, you flew to this new place.
Deciding to stay awhile and learn more about your new home.
