A leucistic loon floating serenely on calm water. Instead of a normal loon's black and white feathers, this one has white and tan. Its eyes, however, are clearly deep orange-red like a regular loon.

"Time to take a nap." A leucistic loon floats on the water, its neck and head stretched back along its body. Unlike a normal black and white loon, this one is white and tan.

"Splash!!" A back view of a leucistic look rising out of the water, wings outspread. Its neck is stretched up and its head is turned sideways, beak to the sky. Unlike a normal black and white loon, this one is white and tan.

Spectacular: a leucistic Loon!

I've got around 22 photos of this beautiful bird. I'll put up four here, and then post another four.

Watching the loons is always entertaining. #Loons #Lake

A loon returns to his territorial pond, calling for his mate and making a long, smooth landing on his belly. 😁 🖤 🤍 🖤

The legs are so far back on a loon's body that if he'd tried to set down on his feet, he would have faceplanted. What he does instead is use his legs and feet, still stretched out behind him, as brakes so he can slow down.

A chonky water bird with a dagger-like bill is swimming through the sea, displacing quite a bit of water as it moves forward powerfully.

A common loon (Gavia immer) swims at Lewey Lake in the Adirondacks.

Fascinating Loon Fact: this is the only way a loon can "walk." They're unable to walk on dry land because their legs are set so far back on their bodies that if they even managed to stand (which they can't), they'd fall on their faces. Instead, the function of their legs and feet is to allow them to paddle through the water, where they spend virtually all their lives, and to help propel them forward and upward from the water when they want to fly. 🖤🤎🤍❤️

A loon, facing to the right, is "running" over the surface of a lake with its wings outstretched, trying to get lift-off. It looks quite clumsy, but once airborne, loons are strong flyers.

The loons are less common in lakes, likely due to climate change.

Les huards sont moins courants dans les lacs, probablement à cause des changements climatiques.

Kayaking this afternoon. So lucky to spend a good amount of time observing 2 Bald Eagles and then, upon returning, to see 2 different pairs of Loons. #Maine #wildlife #getoutdoors #kayak #eagles #loons #NotABirder

Why does the third highest player (Gressel) on the Loons spend so much time on the bench and often come in as reserve? #MNUnited #Loons @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social

I have ‘em on the lake across the way and on the lake on the other side of my place here in very northern Wisconsin but haven’t managed a photo of a common loon like this one in New Hampshire on 11 July, 2025. Photo by Mark Schocken.

While kayaking I saw three Loons and a pair of Common Terns. Phone was out of reach but here is a photo of a Loon family from 4 years ago.
My favourite company to have on a lake.

Two adult, duck-like birds with their chick, swimming in the water of a lake. The birds' head is black, the neck is black and white striped, and the wings are also black and white. The chick is between the adults. it is still brown in colour.

3 common loons swim (at a distance) on a fog shrouded lake. Barely visible in the far background is the opposite shoreline.

A beautiful experience creating `Adirondack Loons‘, a 3D chalk art piece for the ALCA event in gorgeous Blue Mountain Lake, NY. Feeding the Loon!! 😃. #3Dchalkart #3Dstreetpainting #Loons #loonsofinstagram artforafterhours.com
