Resident Cormorants Now

[Edmcl]

Back in January I was down at the Bayfront in Hamilton working on a job and I thought I saw about a dozen cormorants out on a boom by the harbour and i thought i was mistaken as i have never seen them here in the mid of winter. But low and behold i was down that same stretch yesterday and look …. I wasn't seeing things they are here now in the winter as southern Ontario is lacking cold and snow fall has been minimal . I did a read on these birds that should have had been culled a long time ago ( just my Thoughts )…to see the read here is the url… I think we have resident Cormorants now ..They Use to Migrate south ..

Time for an open season on these birds. Their number are becoming too great and they are causing too much damage to the shorelines, islands and fish population in the great lakes.

you ought to see the size of the flocks that make Hamilton harbour their home---have watched flocks numbering in the hundreds? move from one area to another.

I may be off my actual number but not too far---- I hope

I'm not sure why the MNR is dragging there feet on putting a open season on these destructive birds as they have killed acres of islands land with the methane from there droppings . Doug Ford stuck hid nose in last year and the hunt was called off ….. hummmm … wonder if they invaded his cottage land and or waterfront property how soon he would change his tune …. Where are the Perch????
