The Pacific loon

The Pacific loon or Pacific diver, is a medium-sized member of the loon, or diver, family. It may be conspecific with black-throated diver/Arctic loon, which it closely resembles. This species, like all divers/loons, is a specialist fish-eater, catching its prey underwater. It flies with neck outstretched.
