Same here. In Deal lake a small pond with a flume directley adjacent to the ocean i saw at least 20 of them.they apeared out of no where's over the last 4-5 yrs.These things are eating machine's.20 cormarants can eat hundreds of herring per day.They also have quite a liking for stocked trout.they have been a real concern in the great lakes for years.to the point where some guides have gone on late night shooting spree's wit buckets of shells.Why doesn't fish an game do something I guess they will wait till there are no fish to replenish no body of water is safe an all fry are easy targets.they are at the present time a protected bird that status has to change.
