Near Threatened

The Yellow-billed Loon is a northern diving bird of Arctic and subarctic breeding regions with coastal or southern wintering areas. It swims low in the water, dives for fish and aquatic prey, breeds on quiet lakes or tundra pools, and often winters on coasts where its long body and sharp bill suit underwater pursuit.
