The Common Loon appears on Canadian currency, including the one-dollar "loonie" coin and the previous series of $20 bills. It is the provincial bird of Ontario. Loons have long been considered by many North Americans as beautiful and special, symbolizing wilderness and solitude.

Happy Canada Day!
This is a digital collage of my linocut of each province and territory with their official flora and fauna, and my home province Ontario with trillium and common loon. I hope you enjoy your long weekend and get out into nature.

The Loon allowed us to boat very close to it and I was thrilled. Loons have long been considered by many North Americans as beautiful and special, symbolizing wilderness and solitude. Many cottage-goers and campers would feel their trip was incomplete without seeing a loon or listening to its haunting call.

A common loon in the surf off Jacob Riis Park. My wife and I think of these as freshwater birds, but apparently, they're fine with salt water.

Saw my first of year Common Loons this weekend! Yesterday, in a snow squall over a lake, far off in the distance.
Today, I saw them on a calm lake, still far off in the distance.
Common Loons stop in several of our inland lakes on their way north. We only see a few in spring before they move on.
Not the best photo, but wonderful to see them (three!) this afternoon.

It is always a thrill to capture the #Loons up close. This one was splishing and splashing in the water after being under for awhile. Loons have long been considered by many North Americans as beautiful and special, symbolizing wilderness and #solitude.

Today's bird post is a video from my archive.
A #CommonLoon—also known as the #GreatNorthernDiver in British English—dismembers a crawfish. Observed last April in the intracoastal waters of Maine.

Morning #carving project. Loons! Flat-plane, to add easy highlights later with drybrushing.

A beautiful portrait of a #CommonLoon from this past summer for Day 8 of #ArtAdvendCalendar . This photo shows the beautiful iridescent neck feathers not always obvious on these birds. Love the pattern made by the water droplets streaming back off his face.

This Common Loon with wings open and beak pointed to the sky while the juvenile waits for food was a resident of the Moon River Ontario Canada, hence the title Loon On The Moon. Loons have long been considered by many North Americans as beautiful and special, symbolizing wilderness and solitude.

Wandered around the Sparks Marina and saw some birds I don't see that often. Plus a gull who just kept carrying a leaf around.

#Audubon #waterfowl #photography #wildliferehab #CommonLoon I had the privilege of releasing this beauty at a nearby lake after it had been treated and rehabbed by a local wildlife hospital. The photo never does justice to the subtle beauty of natures colors.

A common loon in Sebec Lake in mid July. Loon calls are frequently used in American media to indicate wilderness (even when they're geographically inappropriate). At one point there were 11 loons visible at one time.
