Howdy Y'all,

Just for your own edification Loon, a loon here in the states is also a type of bird, read below mate.

The loons (e.g. North America) or divers (e.g. UK/Ireland) are a group of aquatic birds found in many parts of North America and northern Europe. A loon is the size of a large duck or small goose, which it somewhat resembles in shape when swimming.

The plumage is largely black-and-white, with grey on the head and neck in some species, and a white belly, and all species have a spear-shaped bill. All living species of loons are members of one genus (Gavia[1] in a family (Gaviidae), and order (Gaviiformes) all of their own.

The European name "diver" comes from the bird's habit of catching fish by swimming calmly along the surface and then abruptly plunging into the water. The North American name loon comes from the bird's haunting, yodeling cry.
