Loons Hunting Fish Like Torpedoes at Crazy Close Range Underwater
You've never seen loons hunting underwater this close before. Captured at point-blank range, loons pursue giant schools of emerald shiners in Ontario's Lake Simcoe.
These Canadian common loons (Gavia immer) hurl themselves at the swarms of emerald shiners (Notropis atherinoides) to create a panic and easily pick off any stragglers. The fish scramble in desperation to regroup into their baitball formations for safety.
The birds were extremely cautious before each dive and kept their distance from the camera. Once submerged, loons are incredibly fast, like little torpedos.
