I am glad to finally read that the Ontario's government is going to allow people to "legally" shoot these birds! The last 15-20 year's has been devastating to our fisheries and vegetation from these invasive birds. I have seen ponds and lakes completely destroyed by cormorants over this period of time. The double crested cormorant is a very aggressive bird and takes over any area it wants. They push out the native birds that nest in those places reducing their population. Seagulls are one of the hardest hit species by cormorants taking over their nesting/roosting grounds. E.g. Tommy Thompson park/island Toronto and hundreds of islands like it in Ontario. We need to get rid of this super invasive species for Good!! This has taken way to long to be acted on.
