(Gavia stellata).
Red.ThrOated Loon

la knife 1t is a handy instrument for
spearing fish and the sharp edges hold
the squirming victim.
Looms are related to the Auks. They
are rather solitary in their habits,
but a pair usually finds enough to
talk" about for entertainment. Many
of them are rarely seen together.
The winters are spent in mild cli-
mates, and along the seacoast you can
hear the scream, cry or mirthful laugh
ter.
Some call this beautiful, red -throated
loon the scapegrace. 1t is lover OF
salt water when it remains in Massa-
chusetts, although it has often sought
the rivers and lakes. Here bird lovers
recognize 1t by its brownish- black
back, we'll sprinkled with white. The
triangular patch on the throat in the
summer is rich chestnut, though 1t
has been called red The crown and
sides of head are bluish-gray, under
parts glossy white.
The loon sometimes lies on his side
or back and floats about in the water.
1t becomes so much part of the
CLASSY surface that it escapes notice
from a distance. This is also the IA
vorite position taken when preening
the plumage.
On the banks of its summer waters
the nest is placed in shallow hollow
in the ground, we'll above the tide.
In it are two eggs that are deep
reddish brown, shading off to a gray
ish-green. There are a few spots OF
black on the ground color.
The youngsters shed their first
downy suit by assuming the next one
gradually. pushing the down out of the
way. They are expert swimmers short
" after their natal down dries. The
twins know all the lodges" hops
leaps and dives as soon as they take
their first swim. If you enter the
water and try to catch one of the
youngsters. it sees you first" and you
have to give up the chase.
