History

During summer, common loons live across Canada, Alaska, and the northern United States. In the winter months, they move to coastal regions in search of open water. These birds hold a special place in the traditions of many Indigenous groups and are often seen as symbols of peaceful wilderness settings. Their presence can also reflect the health of nearby lakes because loons respond quickly to changes in water quality and habitat conditions.
