The only reason Sam—we—have loons to discuss is the result of direct action.

Read those articles—what they've discovered about loons as a result of banding/tracking is pretty big.

Side note/addendum: my new puppy had a thermometer stuck up her butt yesterday and some hair pulled out of her ear canals. She didn't love either, but one will keep her ears from infections and the other discovered giardia—both of which could make her life much more unpleasant/short if left untreated. Sometimes interference is essential.

Giardia will ruin your day too, be careful.
