$45.00

The Common Loon (Gavia immer), is an iconic Canadian bird known for its haunting, eerie calls that echo across northern lakes. With striking black and white plumage and distinctive red eyes, the loon is easily recognizable. The loon is an expert diver, capable of staying submerged for extended periods while hunting for fish. It is a symbol of wilderness and is prominently featured on the Canadian one-dollar coin, known colloquially as the “loonie,” since 1987. The haunting calls of the loon are a cherished sound of the Canadian wilderness, contributing to the bird’s cultural significance in the country.
