The article in the Citizen quoted Mr. Vogel as saying that there is a perfect record in the last 10 years of the loons producing chicks. If rafting is detrimental to their survival & rafting has been as prevalent as the residents of the cove say then how could there be such a success rate of the chicks? Because rafting has nothing to do with their survival?
It seems to me that the residents were using the loons to put 1 more nail in the coffin so to speak because they do not like the "skyline look" Well I don't like all the oversized mansions called summer cottages with all the shorefront trees they cut down, the large lawns they fertilize etc. Can boaters petition to force property owners to return the shorefront to its original condition?
Its amazing to me how shorefront owners can pontificate about how boaters are degrading the lake when they themselves contribute as much if not more to the degrading of the lake. Once they get their own little piece of the pie they want to shut it off to everyone else.
