Muskoka’s Cormorant Bird Explosion
Ξ July 24th, 2008 | → 1 Comments | ∇ In and Around Muskoka Ontario, On the Water, Uncategorized |
Here is a close up of the freaky cormorant birds that inhabit a small island up on Lake Joe in Muskoka. I have seen them on Lake Rosseau and Lake Muskoka as well. Apparently the double-crested cormorants were near extinction at one time due to the levels of toxic chemicals. The fact that they are coming back is a good thing even if they are creepy, eat lots of fish and destroy some vegetation. Some people think they came from another area however they are a native bird of Canada.
