Here we go, Dr. Bill....there was a big article in the February
Smithsonian about the cormorant problem and some folks who decided to take it into their own hands
(recreational fishing guides in Upstate New York
[hi ASp and Faldage!). Surprised you missed it!
Oh, and the coromorants don't have water-proofing either.
This is just the abstract, but they provide a full-text link, now, at the bottom of the page. Just click on that for the complete story, it's worth the read.
