I spent some time with these beautiful birds...
The Loon is known for its haunting calls and striking black and white plumage and bright red eyes. The Loon is a large, goose-sized diving bird with long body that rides low in the water. It can fly at speeds approaching 100 mph. The loon will spend almost all of its time on the water, going ashore only for mating and incubating eggs. The loons generally mate for life and produce 1 to 2 eggs each season. Loons can live for 20 - 30 years.
