Check out this article pulled off wiki
"Humans have used cormorants' fishing skills, in China, Japan, and Macedonia, where they have been trained by fishermen. A snare is tied near the base of the bird's throat, which allows the bird only to swallow small fish. When the bird captures and tries to swallow a large fish, the fish is caught in the bird's throat. When the bird returns to the fisherman's raft, the fisherman helps the bird to remove the fish from its throat. The method is not as common today, since more efficient methods of catching fish have been developed."
I have seen them at FLSP aswell there were a couple fellows throwing rocks at em, could of swore I saw swans goin after the bows too. Im surprised the gunshots from the NRA club range right next to the flsp ponds dosent keep the lil buggers away. I also thought if they were protected under fed law not even wardens can shoot them?
