But I see birds tangled in fishing line (without hooks) several times a year on Lake Martin. That pic above may just be old fishing line (no excuse for that when its not in the top of a tree, and littering in my opinion). Seen anhingas, cormorants, egrets and barred owls tangled in fishing line with no hooks. Not sure how that even happens but it does.
Here are two barred owls last year that got their wings hung up by fishing line, we got both freed (the egret and anhinga were freed as well). Also a sign was put out at Lake Martin a couple years back. Not sure who put it up but it was there a couple weeks, they were upset:yikes

They all 3 lack the oil glands most birds have to make their feathers waterproof, so they can dive deeper and stay underwater longer. Thats why you see all of them spreading their wings - to dry em out.
Technically, the bird in that wanted poster was actually a cormorant not an anhinga but I wouldn't have corrected the person no no!
I think we've got far too many cormorants, myself. Wish they'd open season on the darned things.
Double like....Quote:

DB, I've hear they can fully digest a two pound fish in a matter of minutes not hours. Any truth to that? I know they cause heck on catfish farms and stink like the dickens wherever they decide to roost...Quote:

Even seen egrets and herons join in when they bust em up to the top. They will kill a tree that they roost upon and if they are above land the vegetation dies as well. Its basically like fertilizer, if you a little on a plant it grows well but put too much and it kills it. Also heard that if you find a roost then that is a good place to catch catfish:dono As many fish eating birds as there are at Lake Martin its amazing there is one fish out there. I have some good pics of about 100 great egrets in this little cove and they were tearing up the little fingerling bass. There are some good videos on youtube of the Chinese using cormorants to catch gamefish. Its an ancient art over there or something.Quote:
