Check out the wikipedia page for more info, but here are some interesting facts that were found at the loon page .
Loons really like the water. Only one species, the red throated loon, is able to take off from land, the rest take off and land exclusively on the water.
In the summer, the birds can be found in the freshwater lakes and ponds in the north. In the winter months, they can be found in the southern coastal areas of thier range. These birds have been monitored and shown to make ONE flight of over 1000km to transit between seasonal homes. Does that remind you of anyone you know????
They have a gland above thier eye that excretes salt! This is how they can drink salt water and eat fish in the ocean.
................The Salt Gland of the Loon............
Loons have a salt gland to excrete excess salt that they ingest while feeding on the ocean and drinking seawater in the winter.
"The head feathers feel like the thickest, softest velvet, and are so dense that water doesn't seep through, even during fast dives. These feathers keep loons dry and keep their brains warm even when swimming amid ice floes in the Arctic Ocean."
