History

Common loons spend summers across northern regions, including Canada, Alaska, and parts of the United States. When cold weather arrives, they travel toward coastal waters where conditions remain more stable. These birds hold meaning for many Indigenous cultures and are often associated with calm, natural spaces. Because they rely on clean water and healthy ecosystems, loons can help indicate how well an environment is functioning.
