Somehow I knew I was a loon.

You are just like the red-throated loon.
You are similar to a red-throated loon in that you enjoy cooler temperatures and you prefer to have your own space.

Interesting Facts
"Loon" is probably derived from the Old Norse word "loom," which means "lame" and could refer to the bird's clumsiness on land. However, while the red-throated loon may be clumsy on the ground, it is able to take off directly from the ground and start flying.

Sing Hey! for the bath at close of day

A loon is he that will not sing!
O! Water hot is a noble thing

8. American Red Start

I never heard of this bird, but it's nice to learn something new!

Interesting Facts
The American redstart is referred to as "the butterfly of the bird world" because of its quick fluttering motions and bright orange color on the wings and tail.

The male is occasionally polygynous, but unlike other polygynous birds that have two females in the same territory, the redstart holds two separate territories and starts attracting a second female after the first female is incubating her eggs.

The American redstart is known by some in the tropics as the "latrine bird" because of its tendency to look for flies around outhouse and garbage dumps. It is also known in the tropics as the "Christmas bird" because it appears in the region at Christmas time.

Almost all of their migration is done at night.
