Common Loons are large
birds, weighing about nine pounds with a wingspan up to four feet. In
the water they appear to have a low profile with a curved neck. In
spring/summer plumage the head and neck are glossy black with a green
sheen. In the middle of the throat is a narrow horizontal patch of
vertical white streaks. Those same types of streaks are also on each
side of the neck. The black upper back is thickly checkered with square
white spots, the largest spots are found on the scapulars and lower
mantle with smaller spots on the black rump and flanks. The breast and
belly are white; wings are black with whitish streaks above and whitish
axillaries below. In winter the plumage is dark brown with brownish
white underbelly. The prominent black-and-white summer plumage is
replaced with a faint white pattern. The gloss black bill of summer
becomes grayish with a black tip. Geographic Range is Canada and the
Northern United States in the summer. In fall Loons migrate and winter
along both coasts of North America and the Gulf of Mexico. Loons
preferred diet is fish and occasional crustaceans, such as crayfish.
Minnows are the perfect size for young loons. Loons locate fish by sight
underwater, diving as deep as 60 feet to chase down their prey. Because
they rely on sight for hunting clean water is critical. Female loon lays
two brown spotted eggs, the first one larger than the second. The eggs
are incubated for 30 days, by either the male or female, depending on
the time of day. Once they hatch, the baby loons leave the nest almost
at once to avoid predators |
