Fluidr / Roaming the World's "Ontario" set sorted randomly

The common loon was adopted as the official provincial bird of Ontario in 1994.

The Royal Canadian Mint introduced a beautiful new one-dollar coin in 1987 with the Common Loon on it, the “loonie”. Canada made a good choice with the Common Loon as their national bird.

It was taken at Charlton Lake, Ontario. It stayed below water most time and it was hard to get it into picture.

This species, like all divers, is a specialist fish-eater, catching its prey underwater, diving as deep as 200 feet (60 m).

A beautiful falls set in a beautiful little village, this is one of the prettiest plunge class waterfalls in Ontario. About 10-12 m in height, the water falls over a prominent limestone formation, and drops vertically to the pretty plunge pool at the base of the falls.
