Common Loon
“An underwater hunting expert” Though awkward on land, the common loon bird is a graceful hunter on the water. This mostly cold-weather waterfowl learns to dive before it learns to fly and will come back to the same nest with the same mate every year for almost a decade. The bird has found its way […]

Loon Behavior
Happy Loon Fact Friday! Loons bathe to keep their feathers clean, healthy, and waterproof. They remove parasites, dirt, and debris and this act often looks extreme. It involves vigorous splashing, rolling, diving, and thrashing, which helps to flush water through their feathers and maintain the essential waterproofing that keeps them warm and buoyant on the water. While this behavior can seem alarming it is a normal and necessary part of a loon's self-maintenance, not a sign of distress! #FunFac

Nothing to see here… just a Common Loon running down a lake. Loons can’t take off from land. They require anywhere from 200-600 feet to run on the water and gain enough speed for lift-off. #4k120fps #sonya1ii #commonloon #runningonwater | Ken Anderson Photography

This Common Loon was found struggling and unable to take off in the snow after Monday's storm. We often receive diving birds like loons and grebes when they attempt to land on reflective surfaces at night, like wet roadways or parking lots, and its possible the relfective surface of the snow made it appear like open water. Once these birds land on ground instead of water, they're unable to take flight or walk around easily due to the location of their legs, which are extremely far back on their

On Monday this Common Loon was found grounded near Chemult. Once we arrived and checked the little guy over, it was apparent the bird had just mistaken wet pavement for water and crash landed. Being a diving bird (like diving ducks and grebes) loons have legs placed very far back on their bodies. They are designed for diving, not walking on land. These birds must have water to take off again. So patient 2025-200 just needed a lift to the nearest lake where it took to the water like a loon! #wild

Common Loon Release! 😀 This Common Loon was found on the side of the road, and we are so grateful for the observant and brave rescuers who came to the Loon's aid. Loons are superbly adapted for life in the water. Their legs are set far back on their bodies, and unlike most flying birds, they do not have hollow bones. These features make them powerful swimmers perfect and deep divers with ease. for But these unique adaptations come with a tradeoff: they can't walk on land or take flight from the

Loon rhymes with * SWOON * 😍 This creature is the Red-throated loon in its summer breeding plumage. This aquatic bird breeds in small Arctic and boreal lakes. Look for them along coastlines and estuaries in late fall to early spring and view them on large inland lakes during fall migration. Unlike other loons, Red-throated loons don't require a water runway as they can lift off land. You know what doesn’t rhyme with loon? Lead, and not properly discarding fishing line... One sinker is all it ta
