Plight of the Great Cormorant
Plight of the Great Cormorant
"When a growing population of an apex predator such as the bald eagle started to prey on a finite population of cormorant, the predictable result has been a decline in the number of local cormorants surviving to adulthood." A beautiful seabird called the cormorant has seen a reduction in its population, at the hands of a larger predatory bird, the bald eagle. This is problem, not only for the cormorant, but for the fate of the eagle as well.
