Never saw more than 2-3 together on Winnipesaukee but 10 years ago on a secluded lake north of Skowhegan Maine I witnessed a congregation of at least 12 if not more. This was middle of August, just floating around not doing anything.

I saw 3 (mom dad, and young one) today in Winter Harbor. Another boat got very close and I watched as they took pictures with evryone in the boat on one side. The boat was close to taking on water. They proceeded to drift into a marker and onto rocks. They lifted their engine and eventually get off. This is a bonehead thing. The loons just swum away. I guess they have more sense than humans.
