Common loon (bird) model?

Anyone know of a good model of a common loon (Minnesota state bird) that would import well into Daz?

    I know nothing about birds, but when I searched for Great Northern Loon, which is included in this product by Ken Gilliland, I ended with a Wikipedia entry about Common Loon:

    I don't think there is one render with the Great Northern Loon, but if you want to see Ken Gililand's products in action, his gallery (I think) on Daz is here:

    And his forum profile if you want to ask him question (you can also use the sitemail from Renderosity):

    Here are a couple of renders. Ken Gilliland's Great Northern Loon (in Fern Lake). Looks good, but I find the body a little short.

    Thank you both! Yeah, the legs-to-tailfeather distance is definitely off... but if there's nothing better, I could probably make it work anyway. Thanks again! I didn't know they were also called Great Northerns, which might explain why my search results weren't working well.

    I have the Black-throated Diver and the Great Northern Loon by Ken Gilliland, bought when he was at HiveWire. The bird on the left or top is the Diver.
