Tracked maneuvers by diving common loons. The loons were filmed in a rehabilitation pool at the Tufts Wildlife Clinic. Footage was recorded at 200fps and is played back at 30fps, appearing 6.7 times slower than real life. All clips have been digitally tracked for body motion or body and foot motion.
