I am a South Carolina resident living on the Santee Cooper Lakes and for many years observed the tremendous flocks of cormorants gorge themselves on the shad population. Their life looks like eat all day, throw it up, eat more, crap, eat again then roost in cypress trees over night where they crap on the trees which actually kills some trees. Those birds stink too. Oh yea, the cormorants also eat catfish, bass and dive into bream beds to decimate those fish too.

I am so happy to read that Canada will reduce the populations of these world wide problem birds. I hope the Unites States will recognize the real and varied problems the cormorant's cause to our eco systems and allow the populations to be reduced by governed laws.
