Wow, what a shot, called a loon here in Canada. Years ago, Canada quit making $1 and $2 bills, replacing them with coins. Before the $1 coin was issued, with a polar bear on its face, the making plates were 'lost' and so, they quickly decided to replace them with another making plate, but this time, instead of a bear on it, they place a loon, just as this beautiful shot. Ever since, the $1 is ALWAYS referred to as a loonie and the $2 coin is called a toonie … something only Canadians seem to know!

We call this species a 'common loon' - - very well captured here!
