Male and female loons are similar in appearance. Males are generally larger than their mates. Seasonally, the adult common loon’s plumage changes dramatically. The photo at right illustrates the common loon’s winter markings; the photo above which shows an adult on its nest is indicative of the loon’s summer (breeding) appearance.
