Totally anecdotal—there are far more loons today than in the recent past. They've been listed as vulnerable in NH for, what, 40 years? 50? And now they're listed as stable.
And, yes, nobody likes to invade nature, but—in my estimation at least—species survival > small-scale trauma.
We clearly disagree on this—I have faith in those who serve to protect our wildlife populations and, especially, those populations that are endangered by human activity.
