Ditto for loons. We're would anchor about 125-150 yds from a floating loon nest. While floating next to the boat, the loons would swim over by us, 30 ft or so. We'd just sit there and let them do their thing.

Social distancing, on steroids!

Excellent thought, Up. The area beside our house was a loon nursery when the babies were first born and I can't tell you how people made them feel trapped by trying to get close thereby driving them out of their safe place. Unfortunately we don't have those loons any more.
