In southwest Ontario these birds are in epidemic proportions. They are destroying flora and fauna with their droppings as well as jeopardizing the sport fishing industry in my area. In my 50 years of waterfowl hunting on Lake St Clair I have seen the numbers grow from a rare sighting to these birds being as common as seagulls. If they fed as the gulls do I would welcome them but when they eat pounds of sport fish everyday it's only a matter of time that extinction of some species will be imminent.
A bounty should be placed on them the same way crows were dealt with in the 50's and 60's.
