What morons, and it is too bad that someone wasn't able to get the numbers or a video. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has yet to declare the loon threatened or endangered in the United States. However, they are considered threatened in NH and in 1987, VT declared them Endangered. I'm not sure if NH has declared them endangered but even if they are not endangered, they are protected Federally under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
