Common Loon Range Map
The Common Loon breeds from western and central Alaska and the northern Yukon east across Canada to southern Baffin Island and Newfoundland south to northern California (at least formerly), northwestern Montana, North Dakota, and northern Iowa east to southern New England and Nova Scotia. Winters principally along coast from Aleutian Islands south to California, from Newfoundland south to Gulf Coast, and on lakes and bays near coasts. During migration occurs on inland waters throughout most of the United States. The Common Loon inhabits freshwater lakes, ponds and occasionally riverbanks, from tundra south in either open or wooded habitat. Territories may range from entire lakes of more than 100 acres to bays of 15 to 20 acres.
