I find it interesting that in many cases a bird is named, "Common ..." such as the "Common" Loon. Common Moorhen, Common Snipe, Common Merganser, Common Goldeneye also come to mind. Also, in the animal world Common Porcupine. It is also true of butterflies like the "Common Mormon" which is only found in southern Asia. I would think that if something is called "common" it is plentiful -- and "common" throughout the world. In reality, it seems like that is NEVER the case. Nonetheless, today's "5" Star Photo is a Common Loon. This photo was taken while fishing in British Columbia. I like the fact that the loon was nesting, is a close up, and has an offsetting green background.
