Physical disturbance of adult loons after eggs have been laid may flush loons from their nest, and cause total nest failure. Loons vary in their tolerance to boat traffic, but may leave the nest if watercraft comes within 500 feet of the
nest. This leaves the eggs without warmth or protection from predators. Loons may also permanently abandon a nest if disturbed too often.
