Hi, all. Following up on the good suggestions made by many of you, I have had gratifying conversations with a variety of knowledgeable and helpful folks including Laura at Center for Wildlife who referred me to the Portland Park Rangers. There I spoke with ranger Christian Wilkens (who is willing to help anyway possible) and his boss, Supt. Joe Eumais (spelling? who also is in favor of a proper rescue) who both have been monitoring the bird and Diane at Avian Haven who assures me that she and the Maine Game Wardens are also monitoring the situation.
Diane is going to speak with all of the experienced parties. They will assess the current situation to determine a responsible, reasonable plan for capturing the cormorant. I made it clear that many of us stand willing to lend whatever lay assistance we can - whether it would consist of muscle or finances - but that in no way would any of us presume to second-guess the experts re what should be done and how.
At this point, we can all rest easier knowing that the bird has not gone unnoticed.
Thanks for caring, all of you.
Judy
