There are five species of loon, but when most us think of loons, the common loon (Gavia immer) comes to mind--the great northern diver that can plunge over 200 feet below the water’s surface to pursuit fish. They can hold their breath for as long as 8 minutes.

The common loon is the 2nd. most celebrated bird in North America. In 1961, it was adopted as the state bird of Minnesota. Mercer, Wisconsin, promotes itself as the "Loon Capital of the World". Found in every province and territory in the country, the Common Loon is truly an iconic Canadian bird. The Canadian one-dollar gold-coloured coin that was introduced in 1987 have a portrait of the common loon on them. It's referred "the loonie" and became very popular nickname. The Canadian dollar that the Royal Canadian Mint trademarked the name in 2006. The common loon is the provincial bird of Ontario.

Loon's eye color changes with the seasons: during the colder months, loons’ eyes are a dull gray. When it comes to spring and summer, they turn a vibrant shade of crimson.

A newborn loon will spend more than half of its first week riding around on mom or dad's back to keep warm. Hitching a ride also helps keep the baby safe from large fish and other aquatic predators like snapping turtles.
