Red-throated Loon, ice
Red-throated Loon is the smallest of the world’s loons (divers), yet in a recurring theme (see my captions for Wilson’s Warbler www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/53051510458/in... and Green-winged Teal www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/53066254602/in... ) it is the species that breeds the farthest north. In North America, Red-throated Loon is found all the way up to the continent’s farthest north land on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. This image shows the red throat and complementary red eye of a breeding adult. This individual was at Boot Lake in the town of Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada — even though it was early June, there was still ice on most of the lake except at the south end.
