Collection: Red-throated diver

The Red-throated Loon ( Gavia immer ) is a visual and acoustic symbol of Quebec's northern lakes. Its cat-like cry echoes through the wilderness, evoking the tranquility of the north. This large aquatic bird is easily recognizable by its gray, orange, and white plumage and red eyes. An excellent diver, this species feeds primarily on fish, which it captures with its keen eyesight.
