Bill, I first took notice of the revolting killing in 2006 when hundred of cormorants washed ashore at Crane Creek. Sick stuff. I have my own idea. I have noticed a preponderance of Homo sapiens living in the area. Actually, there seem to be too many of these hideous beasts world-wide. Research shows that it is this species which is culpable for 99% of all habital and species loss. I too, think we should organize our own culling. Sincerely, Morris A.
