Known for their black-and-white checkered backs and glossy blackheads, these birds are real beauties. They have long, pointed beaks, perfect for catching their dinner, and their legs are set far back on their bodies which makes them excellent swimmers. But don't be fooled, though they look a bit like ducks, they're a completely different species!  \nSpeaking of dinner, let’s dive into the underwater world where common loons love to feast. These birds are carnivores, meaning they eat meat, and their menu includes all sorts of fish, frogs, crustaceans and even some aquatic plants. They're like little underwater rockets, diving up to 200 feet to snag a tasty fish or two! So if you're a small fish, a loon might be the last thing you want to see.  \nFrom their watery feeding grounds, let’s fly to the places they call home. Common loons can be found in the wild, beautiful lakes and ponds of North America, especially in Canada and the northern United States. During winter, they migrate to the coast, trading in their freshwater homes for the salty sea. Their nests are usually made on the ground near water, where they lay one or two eggs each year.  \nFrom their unique homes and habits, let’s look at how common loons interact with others. These birds are generally peaceful and keep to themselves, but they can be quite territorial, especially when it comes to their nests. They interact with humans mostly through birdwatching and photography, as they're not typically kept as pets. And just like that, we've taken a fun journey into the world of common loons, the amazing and unique water birds.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What color are the eyes of common loons?  \nA.
