I don't remember these birds…

I don't remember these birds being around from 1950's to 1970's. I remeber on a fishing charter 20 years ago by Pele Island... everything was dead on I believe the south shore. It was terrible. Since then I see more and more commorants flying in larger flocks all the time. I mostly fish the St. Clair river and it is unbelievable the numbers present. YES... our perch fishing, etc has declined because of these birds.
The perch fishing along the south shore of Lake Erie is now almost non-existant! I saw a picture (I know they should not have done it!) of a commorant's belly opened up. There were dozens if not a hundred small perch in the belly... and this is an invasive species. A hunt by sportsman will help bring our fishery back. Yes there will be anti's involved but they do not consider the balance required for nature when a new threat is introduced! Good for you pushing this through... and DO NOT PUT THIS ON A MIGRATORY LICENSE like dove hunting!! Randy
