Re: [Maine-birds] Disabled Evergreen Cormorant - Can't something be done?

Judy

My wife and I live close to Evergreen and have been keeping an eye on the cormorant like you. Earlier this year we took a baby squirrel to the Center for Wildlife in York. And I have been thinking they might take the cormorant and they might even have suggestions about how to capture it. I will give them a call today and see what they have to say then send you an email with the information. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

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.
