noun
red-throated loon; red-throated diver
A bird species (Gavia stellata). In everyday Japanese, the katakana name アビ is the usual written form.
冬になると、アビが日本の沿岸で見られることがある。
In winter, red-throated loons can sometimes be seen along the coast of Japan.
The Japanese name アビ is thought to be derived from the bird's call. The kanji 阿比 are ateji (phonetic equivalents) and not related to the meaning.
