I've thought about that, too.  And I'm interested to hear what others have to say.  The pond is on my running route.  I've been looking out for my the cormorant and now the goose for awhile and feel emotionally attached.  I feel like a flawed human being......I don't know what's best.

At the risk of ruffling feathers I have to ask: Am I the only one who questions human intervention with a likely life in captivity?

Is anyone giving thought to the other animals, including birds, that survive because of  the weak and incapacitated? 

This isn't a rare or endangered species where intervention might be justified.

I asked this question last spring.  Noah Gibb responded and we both are willing to step up w/ $ or muscle to help this bird.  The answer to what will happen with the advent of fall and winter is that the animal will suffer a slow cruel death as it freezes in the ice UNLESS we help it.  This is not the Galapagos and helping this animal won't contaminate the natural ecosystem.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the cormorant and maybe the C Goose could be captured - do we need permission from Fish & Wildlife or other State or Fed Authority? 

And equally important, does anyone have a lead on a rescue or shelter willing to house these birds?  I know that some aquariums take in wounded shorebirds etc. They also house those who cannot be returned to the wild.   If anyone has any ideas - I'm willing to make the calls and the case.
