I live near Georgian bay and spend quite a bit of time near and around the water including some of the local smaller inland lakes. I can’t believe how many of these birds are around now. I watch them eat 12-16” salmon regulrly as well as larger size bass from our smaller lakes. They have a big appetite and I believe are taking a large toll on the water habitats in my area especially the shallower lakes. I don’t recall this being so noticeable like this even a decade ago. I think it will be detrimental if their numbers continue to increase. I think a hunting season is a great idea and should help to get this problem under control.
