My family likes to catch Northerns by our creek. The northern pike is the common name of a fresh-water fish noted for its greedy appetite and fighting quality. LOON By Lana Kelly, Gr. 7 One day a couple of years ago, my family stopped to rest on an island. While we were on the little island, I saw a loon.
Loons are water birds with black feathers and white spots.
They have glossy black and green necks and black webbed feet. They make oohing calls in the early morning. They are about 36 inches long and they live in the northern United States and on up to the Arctic Circle.
