in thread< --=_ea90aa8a2e4ea47a8df913cc1341d8d9 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 The same thing happened on Red Islands on the Bras D'Or Lakes in Richmond County. When I was younger, the island was covered with trees and the trees were full of nests; Cormorant and Heron nests on opposite ends of the main island. Now, there are no more trees, and the cormorants are nesting on the ground, along with gulls and some ducks near the ponds. I don't know where the herons nest now.
