Description
Common Loons come to visit me on the lake here here in Southcentral Alaska. They are such a delight to listen to their calls.They aren't afraid of me, because I've lived here so long. If I sit on the dock, they will swim right up to the edge of the dock. They are a very large swimming and diving bird. Adults are 28 to 35 inches long with a wingspan of up to 60 inches. Their weight ranges from 3.5 to 17.6 lbs. This particular one had two young ones, which were so cute!
