Common Loons are fantastic fishers! Everything about them is streamlined to enable them to catch as many fish as possible. Common loons are among the deepest diving birds on earth. They can dive up to 160 feet!

It's thought that they got their name from European explores who called them “fitch,” a common name for the European polecat.
