The Littoral Society had a great article in its Underwater Naturalist issue recently. It was written by Clyde L. MacKenzie, Jr. If you get a chance check it out. There is quite a bit of data contained in the piece and it does point out the destructive possibilities of these birds. They had such a devastating impact on the salmon population in Oregon that drastic steps had to be taken to control them.

The herons are another story. They are, without a doubt, the best fishing machines on the water. It's a good thing, there are not as many of them as there are cormorants. I was surprised when I read a little more about them that they are indeed North American natives. Still, too many of them in a small pond can really put a hurtin' on the fish.
