I do not agree with an open season on culling the Cormorant bird in Ontario.
I have spent the last 60 summers in a near north Ontario, Provincial Park- living on a medium size lake. Cormorants appeared around 25 years ago.
The Cormorant bird took up residence on a gull island (both gulls and cormorants nest there now). The numbers of Cormorants 5 years ago was substantially larger. The summer of 2018 I noticed that the numbers had crashed significantly. The herring gulls were back in numbers and nesting.
The cormorants numbers dropped by at least 75%.
What I have noticed is that there are too many fishing people with all their high tech equipment that are fishing out the lake. Do not blame falling fish numbers on the cormorant bird. HUMANS Are over fishing.
We see eagles now on the lake over the past 10 years.
The loon population seems to be struggling.
No to culling cormorants.
