Loons casually wander very closely past swimmers at the cottage
Loons casually swimming past swimmers at a cottage make for a serene and beautiful scene. Loons are known for their distinctive calls and striking black-and-white plumage. These swimmers were enjoying a dip in a picturesque lake outside a cozy cottage, when a pair of loons gracefully swam past as they were enjoying the water. The loons' sleek, black-and-white bodies create a striking contrast against the shimmering blue lake.
Loons are iconic figures, well associated with summer cottages and peaceful lakes.
Loons are heavy set birds with webbed feet, well adapted for propelling through the water as they dive and hunt for fish. Surprisingly agile beneath the surface, they are able to catch fish which they swallow whole. They are able to fly, but takeoffs are ungraceful as their feet are situated far back on their bodies, making takeoff from land particularly difficult. Once aloft, loons are capable of extended flights.
Loons eat small pebbles which they store in their gizzard to help in breaking down their food. They feed on fish, crayfish, frogs, and leeches.
Loons lay two eggs in a clutch and are often seen carrying their chicks on their backs. The babies are able to dive and feed immediately after hatching, but they ride on their parents' backs for up to two weeks to conserve heat and to help them avoid predators.
