They are protected in this state just like everything else. They are invasive to the states. Like stated above it is pointless to fish a few of the ponds that they stock trout. These birds eat 3/4 of the fish and the other 1/4 are in hiding and don't bite. The state needs to step up and do something with population control.

Protected only in plain sight.

Very nice pics Andy. Sorry to hear that the bite wasn't on but I'm sure it beat working!

Nice report. Thanks. I believe there are nesting eagles in the Duke estate area. Gotta have sufficient food to support eagles and cormorants.
