Fourth of July Loon Advice Urges Gentle Waters
Jim Pierce of the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute warns Fourth of July boaters to give loons and other water birds space to avoid nest disturbance. He notes loons may abandon nests or exhaust themselves protecting young, with potential harm to adults and chicks. The watch urges contacting game wardens for harassment and cites a $175 fine, plus damages, under state law.
