I think the proposed plan to allow hunting cormorants is good news and long overdue. I see thousands of these birds on lake Erie every year and have witnessed their feeding frenzies. They used to be most common a distance from shore but now I regularly see them in very shallow water feeding on minnows and other small fish.
I agree that all the birds taken should not be left to spoil on the water as that will create an additional problem when they wash ashore. If birds are taken then they must be recovered and disposed of properly.
