The Common Loon is the state bird of Minnesota...
These water birds breed on lakes and rivers of the northern United States and Canada. They winter primarily along the coasts. Loons are about the size of large ducks and spend most of their time on the water. Excellent swimmers, they can dive deep and remain underwater for up to five minutes. They eat small fish, snails, crabs, and frogs. A distinct laughing sound is just one of the many calls Common Loons make.

Wild Republic has entered into a partnership with the National Audubon Society to create a line of realistic looking plush beanbag birds. This partnership also includes The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, who has provided the authentic sounds for each bird to further add to the realism of these plush toys.

This Loon's call was recorded on July 20, 1991 in New York, USA, and is the call to defend territory and attract a mate.
