Loon on Medicine Lake

My battery was dead in the camera, no spare, but by switching it on and off several times was able to get this as my last shot this morning
Never seen one of these before. Is it a member of the pigeon family?

@s4sayer They are a large primitive diving aquatic bird found in the northern lakes of North America. They have webbed feet and dive and swim under water to catch fish. They have a hauntingly beautiful cry that echos over the northern lakes of North America. Genus Gavia, I believe divers can also be found in parts of Ireland the united Kingdom and northern Europe. They only go on land to nest .
