Loons are visual predators that rely on their excellent eyesight to locate prey. When foraging, they often dip their heads underwater, searching for fish. Once they spot a target, they dive and pursue it below the surface. To protect their eyes from debris and other irritants, loons have a nictitating membrane, which is a translucent extra eyelid that functions similarly to goggles. This allows them to keep their eyes open while tracking and chasing their prey. Most fish that loons catch are sma

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

This beautiful common loon repeatedly dove, but came up empty. It also took a break to scratch its head with its foot. 🥹 Common loons spend summers across much of Alaska, Canada and parts of northern states. They can be found across much of the country during migration when they move toward coastal ocean waters. 🎥 Courtney Celley/USFWS | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Common Loons are classic “snowbirds” that winter in Florida. They are often seen in the intercoastal waterway diving for fish. If you’re lucky, you can hear their haunting calls to one another. They migrate from the northern US and southern Canada, an exhausting journey fraught with peril. They sometimes mistake wet roadways for water and land on asphalt. They are commonly beached and unable to scoot back into the water to take flight. Their legs are placed too far back on their body to stand an
