I totally DISAGREE with this proposal. Not only will it wipe out numerous 'feeder' birds which Bald Eagles hunt/eat, shooting of the Cormorants will put other nesting birds that are in close proximity to the Cormorants. We all know Herons/Egrets and gulls are all communal nesters sharing much of the same nesting area, i.e. same trees.
As a naturalist, nature photographer, birder I totally DISAGREE with this proposal. Please stop it.
Also hunters can kill 50 birds a day/ and it is not a good bird to eat so i suspect many will be shot and left to rot and cause bacteria outbreaks on the ground and thus poisoning other birds/animals that eat the rotting cormorants.
This is a terrible idea.
