Hello.. I am a senior that spent much of my leisure time boating , fishing , hunting on Lake St. Clair. I first noticed the Cormorant in the early 1970,s. There were very few at that time.. They are a protected invasive fish eating bird which now number in the many thousands. I have watched them in spring spawning beds around Mitchels Bay gorging on the new hatch. They are a lethal predator, small fish stand little chance of escaping . The roost trees they choose soon die from their acid like droppings. There is no such thing as catch and release with these birds , sportsfishing has felt their presence in a negative way. They need to be reduced along with the mute swan. They are both invasive and out of control.
