The Common Loon
 

Here is a photo of a nesting loon!  What a great sighting here in Voyageurs National Park!  Did you know that a loon has solid bones?  The heavy bodied loon can cruise at an average speed of 75 miles per hour!  Sustained flight speeds of 108 miles per hour have even been recorded.  The common loon weighs as much as the bald eagle but only has half the wing surface area.  That is why loons can require as much as a quarter mile of water runway to get airborne.
