CatmanErv,
Interesting. I'm thinking, but don't know exactly, if your situation is a natural occurance, no less off-kelter, but not quite like our fishing license fees going to feed the few. I like birds in general but, as you say, sometimes things get out of hand.
The Salton Sea here in California is an example. There is a large population of Brown Pelicans there but with the ebb and flow of the ecosystem, a large number decided to get out of dodge. They literally landed here in the Los Angeles area's coastal shores and have done nothing but prove to be bothersome. They become tame as puppies, beg for food, harass anglers and generally don't belong here in the numbers they are. But... what can you do! We even had some perverts, thru frustration I guess, grab around 10 or 12 birds, tourture, the murder them.
I hate them to be around when I fishing, but you've got to admit they do have their charm. Are you glad you weren't born a pelican and it was time to get hitched. ha ha
