There is a duck race coming up May 26th up in the Adirondacks (NY) and they decided to do something a little different....instead of racing rubber ducks, they are racing rubber loons (a loon is a seabird...looks a lot like a duck....."it walks like a duck, but doesn't talk like a duck" haha....instead of quacking they produce a laugh-like cry....can you tell I've been googling?).  
 
Anyway-they got Craig from Celebriducks to custom design a limited quantity of the rubber birds for the race. Here is what they look like:

If anyone is interested they are selling them while they still have them here (you can also sponsor a rubber loon if you like):

You can also get a loon by contacting the program manager (Rebecca Oyer) directly at.....royer[at]esf.edu.  
 
I thought you all might be interested because this one is a rare Celebriduck and also because it is one of the first "Made in America" ducks....or loons
