It seems there are more cormorants than poles this year. The cormorants have taken up residence in the dead trees and even on the shore, to bring the new additions to their families in the world.

The birds didn't take up residence in the dead trees, them taking up residence in the tree is what kills them.
Having said that I really don't think its the huge problem others are making it out to be. I too drive the causeway frequently and its nothing more than a minor inconvenience. If thats the biggest thing you have to complain about... you have it pretty good. -

They need to be shot and gotten rid of. They are becoming a menace and a traffic hazzard. Everytime I drive across the causeway there is someone ILLEGALLY parked by the coromorant piling trying to get a picture of the `pretty birds` Someone is going to get killed by either getting hit by a car or causing a pile up from slowing down to gawk at the mess.
It`s disgusting, it stinks and it needs to be gone. -

So really its humans causing the problem by not obeying the laws and so forth.. so yes lets punish the birds for living.. HERE HERE!
When will people understand that we share this planet with animals.
Its no different from people that move deep into the country (where i live) and complain about all the bears and coyotes and want them shot. Time to grow up people your living near their homes and not the other way around. -

How the H*ll can animals miss use/abuse their welcome.. THEY ARE FREAKING ANIMALS. I highly doubt they signed a contract regarding how they must conduct themselves.
Heres a thought animals were here be for any human so maybe you should point your blame at yourself for destroy animal habitat. So in that case i guess you MISS USED and ABUSED , you welcome, so why don't you evict yourself..
I love when people proclaim to be animal lovers but only when it suits them.. yeesh. -

I see these birds twice some times three times a day. They have become far too many. I am an animal lover. I have plenty of animals of my own. But these birds have ruined the landscape and the picturesque view of Pictou Harbour. They have killed the trees and please don't roll down your window because the smell when you are going by them is terrible. When they first arrived here it was a big deal, we built them homes,made a celebrity out of one of them-remember Causeway Corey. Maybe it was time they got evicted. They have missed used and abused their welcome.

it is not the birds fault that people stop and look so its not their fault if there is an accident the birds arent driving the cars. what about the smell from the pulp mill its worse than the birds. if we stop taking away the habitat of animals they wont need our help to build them places. people caused the nesting area so leave it alone and let them live their life.

Back in the late 60's these birds were either endangered or at high risk of being endandered. From memory, the birds came from Mexico during the summer and while here in NS we offered refuge from whatever was the wrath in Mexico. Now I know that they have fixed that issue, as I too poopoo when I drive by their homestead on the causeway during the summer.
Is this an issue for Province of Nova Scotia Renewable Resources or a Federal department to resolve?
As for the homo sapiens that disobey signage and traffic? The birds are not too blame. It is difficult for a bird to have control over that species. There are many humans everyday who deal with the disrespect of rules, orders or simple logic
