Graham lake NE of Red Earth is an AB example. Used to be green treed rock island mid lake. The birds invaded, and resulted in a nude rock island. Walleye and jack, of all sizes were plentiful in the lake. Now virtually no smaller fish remain and natural balance is likely nonrecoverable, given today's "bleeding heart" interest groups. 2006 photo is after the invasion, next photo, 2012, 6 yrs later. No pre-cormorant photo, just memory.
I bet they taste every bit as good as a seagull....the one's that hang out at landfills. Or a crow. Or rat. Who is going to go shoot 50 of those, and then what are you supposed to do with them? More worthless policy.
