Back

Red-throated Loon Gavia stellata is north America's smallest and most slender loon. Red-throated Loon Gavia stellata cannot walk on land and slide on their belly when landing on water. I took a number of pictures of Red-throated Loons Gavia stellata by the 'steel ship' in Cape May point. They would come right next to the beach and did not seemed to be bother by the presence of fishermen and other people.
