Do loons migrate during the winter months?

Yes, loons migrate during the winter months. They are highly migratory birds, spending their summers in the northern parts of North America and Europe, and their winters in warmer waters further south.

Here are some specifics:

* North American loons: They migrate south to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, during the winter. Some even travel as far south as Central America.

* European loons: They generally migrate to the Mediterranean Sea and the coast of Western Europe for the winter.

They migrate to find open water that is not frozen over, as they need to be able to dive for food.
