More About Loons ...
|
"A loon or diver is the size of a large duck, to which it is unrelated; its plumage is largely grey or black, and it has a spear-shaped bill".
The European name diver comes from the bird's habit of catching fish by swimming calmly along the surface and then abruptly plunging into the water; the North American name loon comes from the bird's haunting, yodeling cry, a symbol of the Canadian wilds.
