I am very disappointed that Ontario is considering this. The double-crested cormorant is not an edible game bird and it often nests close to other birds who will be disturbed and perhaps be accidentally killed. Hunting this bird for such an outrageously extended season will ruin activities in the wetlands such as canoeing, backpacking, hiking, and bird watching for hundreds of thousands of Ontariens for the pleasure of a few. If there is scientific evidence - which I have to say I have failed to find - that this species has to be culled, then do so, but for a severely limited time-frame.
