Abstract:
The common loon (Gavia immer) is a large waterfowl that can measure up to three feet long with a wingspan of about fifty-eight inches. During the breeding season in its Northern territory it is colorful and musical, but when the loon comes South to winter, its coloration becomes drab and its music becomes muted.

Abstract:
At the southern end of Core Sound, in coastal Carteret County, lies Harkers Island. The areas of subsistence techniques and foodways provide clear examples of folkways different from those found inland. Traditional foods and ways of eating form a link with the past. In situations of cultural change, many people hold on to them despite pressure to change. The loon has been adopted by Harkers Island natives as a symbol of their shared culinary and cultural heritage.
