The newly hatched Common Loons were swimming with the parents along Lakeshore for the better part of the day. The little ones were climbing onto the backs of the adults when they were tired. It was an awesome sight to witness. The Common Loon parents were so proud of their offspring, showing them off to all the photographers lining the shoreline of Gillies Lake. Located in the Gillies Lake Conservation Area in Timmins in the Township of Tisdale in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada.

We spent the last few days at Jewel Lake Provincial Park, Kootenay Boundary.
This mother and her juvenile spent most of their time down the north-eastern end of the lake.
The common loon or great northern diver is a large member of the loon, or diver, family of birds. During the breeding season, loons live on lakes and other waterways in Canada and southern parts of Greenland and Iceland. Common loons winter on both coasts of North America, and on the Atlantic coast of Europe.
Loons are monogamous; that is, a single female and male often together defend a territory and may breed together for a decade or more.
It is one of five loon species that make up the genus Gavia, the only genus of the family Gaviidae and order Gaviiformes. Its closest relative is another large black-headed species, the yellow-billed loon or white-billed diver (Gavia adamsii).

A northern diver/common loon (Gavia immer) in its bright winter plumage, that came pretty close one day.
If I look for them, I can find them every day here during winter and early spring. I saw several of them on my birdwatching trip with a friend today as well.
If we are lucky, we see them in their stunning breeding plumage right before leaving for the Arctic regions for breeding.

Great Northern Diver (Gavia immer) feed mainly on fish but also eat crustaceans including crabs. I‘ve seen plenty of photos of divers with crabs in their bills, usually with all the legs and pincers still attached. The photo shows the diver holding the crab by its left legs and you can see that its right legs have been removed. You can also see the notches on the front of the carapace which identify this as a Shore Crab Carcinus maenas. Shortly after I took this photo the diver held the carb under water and shook it vigorously to remove the remaining legs. Taken in Scarborough harbour, North Yorkshire.

Both Loon photos where taken at the same location 4 days apart under very different conditions.
Our lakes are not completely free of ice yet in Kawartha Lakes. This Common Loon was swimming in the open water of the Trent Canal at Rosedale, where the faster flow has kept the water open. Its mate was at the edge of the ice in the lake and they were calling to each other....a sure sign of Spring.

Some people think of Common Loons (Gavia immer) as being quite solitary and elusive. In addition to be devoted partners to their territorial lake for breeding, researchers are finding that many loons “lake hop” to nearby lakes and “socialize” with others. The breeding pair will defend their chicks and territory but sometimes will deliberately engage others in beak-dipping; swimming in tight circles, diving, and other posturing. This close-swimming group is four of five I watched interact for over an hour before sunset on the WIllow Flowage in Oneida County, Wisconsin on July 9, 2016.
