I agree with the proposal to have a legal hunting season for cormorants. I Nov. of this year I was on Lake Erie, and could not believe the number of cormorants that I saw around the docks at Kingsville and in flight over the Lake Erie waters as we made our way to Pelee Island.
A conservative estimate would put their numbers in the thousands.
I live on Georgian Bay, and have also witnessed the cormorants in large numbers on the waters of Georgian Bay and nearby Lake Huron. We find cormorants now also inland on many of our tributary rivers and smaller lakes in our Grey and Bruce counties.
The opportunity to reduce the cormorant populations is long overdue.
