Cormorants Renest On Green Bay Island After Egg Destruction
Biologists report a second nesting site near Little Gull Island with about 1,400 untouched cormorant eggs, a recovery after last month’s destruction of roughly 1,800 eggs on northern Lake Michigan island. Researchers warn the island will be watched daily and suspect commercial fishermen of the egg vandalism amid concerns over toxic substances harming colonial nesting birds in Green Bay.
