Cormorants – Fowl or Foul?
Probably the most despised bird around the Muskoka area is the Cormorant. You can easily see the damage they cause to the trees and vegetation on the many small islands in the area. Some people believe this is just the balance of nature and it is meant to be however that theory is largely dispelled. People are concerned with the growing population of a bird that was near extinct only a few years ago and now making a remarkable comeback.
Fisherman complain about fish stocks being down and others about the unsightliness and damage to property. There is definitely a controversy brewing about Cormorants not only in Muskoka but in other places where they are calling for a cull.
