Whlie the name of the Loon is Common, this photo is not. Nearly all of the considerable amount of fish an adult loon eats is done while under the water. I had not seen one with a fish before and was very fortunate to get his shot of him surfacing with dinner intact. The loon is seen in summer across the very northern tier of the US and across all of Canada. One of my favorite things is to find a pond or stream where they are calling in the evening. This photo was shot in Acadia National Park.
