Hi Tuma,
My first thought is that it is the name for loons during the winter season
when they are on the ocean and much paler than in their summer plumage on a
lake. My second thought is Northern Gannet since they have might be
considered as having the look of a loon, are very white, and are further at
sea than most loons.

Subject: [NatureNS] white sea loon
Hi Everyone:
As I wait for this winter storm to arrive, I'm doing a bit more research on
Mi'kmaq names for birds. I have come across a name for a "White Sea Loon".
Now I know the name for a common loon (Kwimu) and for the Red-throated Loon
(Maqwisk) but I do not know what bird could possible be the White Sea Loon.
Any thought on what bird this could be? Any help is appreciated.
