| General Description : | From a booklet of 6 stamps Official first day Cancellation Location: Ridgetown, Ontario Photography: Robert McCaw Loon chicks are able to swim right after hatching, but often ride or rest on the back of their mothers in their first weeks to stay warm and reduce the risk of predators. The adult loon can dive to depths of 80 metres and stay under water for up to a minute. To many, the haunting and distinctive sound of a loon is symbolic of Canada’s backcountry. |
