Cormorants.. by and far cormorants. Only good cormorant is a dead cormorant. Now ifn it is at the seashore.. fine, fill yer boots.. but when they come inland and get into my pond.. I see and I just wanna go get the . 22 and blow that thing right out of the water.
Pretty much anything else can do what it pleases. We have white tailed deer in the back 20 and moose. We have coyotes, great owls, harriers, hawks, peregrines and the ocassional bald eagle comes for a visit. We get blue herons, Canada geese, half a dozen varieties of ducks, we have gophers, muskrat, some kind of martin/weasel ocassionaly and we get our fair share of raccoons, skunks, wild rabbits and hares (yes virginia, there is a difference) and all kinds of fowl including about 3 dozen pheasants.
But let me see a cormorant and I go right off me rocker...
