Why it matters
The red-throated loon, or *Gavia stellata*, is the smallest and most widely distributed member of the loon family, distinguished by its streamlined, pointed wings and tail. Ornithologists and birders prize the species for its unique ability to take flight directly from land, a trait that sets it apart from its heavier relatives which require expansive stretches of water for takeoff.
