The Common Loon, scientifically known as Gavia immer, is a magnificent bird that can be found in various locations across North America. In June, these beautiful creatures can be spotted in British Columbia, Canada, where an adult loon is seen with its adorable chick by its side. The bond between parent and offspring is evident as the chick rides on the back of its protective guardian at Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park. Moving to Minnesota, USA, we encounter another captivating sight - a Common Loon gracefully swimming on Burntside Lake in Ely. Its striking appearance showcases the elegance of this species also referred to as the Great Northern Diver. These birds are truly mesmerizing with their distinctive black and white plumage. Michigan offers us more glimpses into the life of these fascinating creatures. In one instance, a Common Loon dons its breeding plumage while running across water before taking flight. This display highlights their agility and determination during mating season. At Acadia National Park in Maine, we witness a Common Loon nesting at the edge of a serene lake while emitting its distinct call. This behavior demonstrates their dedication to creating safe environments for their young ones. Underwater exploration reveals yet another aspect of these incredible birds' lives. Two Common Loons dive beneath Michigan's waters in search of food during June - showcasing their adaptability both on land and underwater. A heartwarming moment unfolds when an adult loon carries its precious chick on its back amidst misty surroundings early in the morning. The tranquility surrounding this scene evokes feelings of peace and harmony within nature. In Sterling Lake lies another pair of Great Northern Divers or Common / Great Northern Loons - with the male taking center stage against a picturesque backdrop. Their presence adds charm to any landscape they grace. Whether it's witnessing them preening under soft evening light or observing them swim through mist-covered lakes at dawn.
