Common Loon (  Amerikanjääkuikka - Gavia immer ) is  the bird symbol of Minnesota.

The Common Loon was adopted as the official state bird symbol of Minnesota in 1961. Loons are known for their cries, wails, and yodels - their eerie, echoing calls are a distinctive feature of Minnesota’s northern lakes

 

 

In Finland we have two Gavia- birds: Arctic Loon or Black-throated divers - Gavia arctica ( kuikka ) and Red-throated Loon - Gavia stellata ( kaakkuri ), they   look much the same as Gavia immer.
