Common Loon Facts
The common loon is also known as the Great Northern Diver. It is found throughout Canada and is often seen on lake waters in cottage country as depicted in my digital painting. Its well recognized sound travels far across waters and is synonymous with the solitude and tranquility of the wilderness
The common loon is the official bird of Ontario (I didn't know that) and is found on the one dollar Canadian coin giving the coin the nickname "loonie" ( Eh, got a loonie?")
The Common loon is a favorite among wildlife artists, there being no lack of paintings featuring this majestic waterbird that makes its home on the lakes of wild.
