Penobscot Man Captures Six Foot Cormorant In Maine

A Penobscot resident recently caught a six foot cormorant drifted ashore, likely blown in by a southerly gale. The odd sight contrasts with local news of liquor regulations at Worcester West Agricultural Society and a series of quirky incidents including an animated Kentucky calendar man, a Lawrence society figure’s misadventure in police, and an owl fight at Lewiston mills.
