Cormorant (pg. 41) has a black chest and gray bill with a hooked tip and yellow at the
base. Look for the checkerboard back to identify the Common Loon. Stanâ€s Notes: Hunts for
fish by eyesight and prefers clear, clean lakes. A great swimmer, but its legs are set so far back
that it has a hard time walking. “Loon― comes from the Scandinavian term lom, meaning
“lame,― for the awkward way it walks on land. To take off, it faces into the wind and runs on
the water while flapping. Its wailing call suggests wild laughter, which led to the phrase “crazy
as a loon.― Also gives soft hoots. In the water, young ride on the backs of their parents for about
10 days. Adults perform distraction displays to protect the young. Very sensitive to disturbance
during nesting and will abandon the nest. Read more
