Here's a link from the Boston Globe. They copied it from Foster's Democrat apparently.

It's certainly conceivable: I wrote last year about a loon suddenly surfacing in front of my sailboat -- and my getting wet by the loon's sudden departure.

As a kid, I used to speed towards them -- and they would immediately dive. (And never resurface where you'd think they would).

Loons seem to be oblivious to approaching boats today. They will preen themselves with all manner of boat traffic passing close by.
