This listing is for a limited edition, fine art print of my original painting of a Common Loon called, “It’s got nothing to do with fate,
And everything to do with you.”
That’s a line from an Andrew Bird song called, Sisyphus. I really love that guy’s music.
One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking bird calls comes from the loon. Add in the gorgeous patterning, the shimmer hidden in their throat feathers, and those ruby-red eyes, and you’ve got yourself an exceptionally exquisite bird.
About the Common Loon
from Audubon:
A long-bodied, low-slung diver. Many people consider the loon a symbol of wilderness; its rich yodeling and moaning calls, heard by day or night, are characteristic sounds of early summer in the north woods. In winter, silent and more subtly marked, Common Loons inhabit coastal waters and large southern lakes. In such places they are solitary while feeding, but may gather in loose flocks at night.
| Conservation status | Has disappeared from some former nesting areas owing to human disturbance on lakes in summer; acid rain may also reduce food supplies in breeding range. Has been protected on some breeding grounds in the northeast by volunteer “Loon Rangers” who patrol the lakes and help to educate the public about conservation. Projected to lose much of its breeding range as a result of climate change. |
|---|---|
| Family | Loons |
| Habitat | Wooded lakes, tundra ponds, coastal waters. In summer mainly on lakes in coniferous forest zone, also beyond treeline onto open tundra. Chooses large lakes with ample room for takeoff and with good supply of small fish. In winter mainly on ocean, usually fairly shallow waters close to shore; also on large lakes and reservoirs that remain ice-free. |
