During Labor Day weekend 2014, forum participants reported a large gathering of cormorants in Cable’s Bay, with birds observed moving between the north and south ends of the bay. Another participant reported seeing a cormorant in Paradise Bay.

This is an eyewitness observation, not a standardized count or evidence of fish population effects. The thread’s humorous and speculative remarks about cormorants are not treated as ecological findings.

Sources

  1. The participants described seeing hundreds of cormorants in the north and later south end of Cable's Bay during Labor Day weekend; a reply reported one bird in Paradise Bay. The observations are valuable place-and-time evidence but provide no count method, photographs, species survey, or proof of the post's claim about effects on fish.
