I've met BIGFRANK out at Rosetta -- last fall -- and if you enjoy the raptor migration, or want to learn your raptors, Frankie knows his stuff ...
We may have to move to General Discussions om the cormorant thing. As far as the vegetation destruction, it's hooey. Why would the MRTCA be all concerned about losing poplars on a man-made junkyard?
There are so many other specious arguments put forth for killing cormorants, all I want to see is ONE sensible argument: not because they're ugly; not because they're eating fish; not because they're endangering other species nesting on our cast-off construction garbage, and, please, not because they're polluting Lake Ontario ...
Facts. I have a thing about facts. I've read a few bits written up by hired-gun biologists -- "biostitutes" to those of us who studied it formally -- and it's so much of it's ... well, check out the sponsors of some of these studies, for starters.
I remember when some small tract of unique bog area near Toronto was coveted by "developers" about twenty years ago. Sure enough, one of their well-paid biostitutes allegedly found a mosquito in the genus
Anopheles and declared that it was a vector for equine encephalitis. I'm not making this up ...
Don't remember hoe it turned out ... how do these people sleep at night?
