Born Friday morning. All is well.
Great Canadian Loon -- This diver is well-known in Canada, appearing
on the "loonie" coin and the previous series of $20 bill,
and is the provincial bird of Ontario. Also, it is the state bird of
Minnesota.
The voice and appearance of the Great Northern Loon has made it
prominent in several Native American tales. These include a story of a
loon which created the world in a Chippewa story; a Micmac saga
describes Kwee-moo, the loon who was a special messenger of Glooscap
(Glu-skap), the tribal hero; native tribes of British Columbia
believed that an excess of calls from this bird predicted rain, and
even brought it; and the tale of the loon's necklace was handed down
in many versions among Pacific Coast peoples. Folk names include big
loon, black-billed loon, call-up-a-storm, ember-goose, greenhead,
guinea duck, imber diver, ring-necked loon, and walloon.
