Four times this morning I had to go out and blast cormorants. It is a flock of 30 some individuals. I scare them off, they circle around and I scare them off again. Finally, the fourth time they gave up. I suppose they had only the energy for one wet launch remaining. It does take some serious effort for them to take off when wet.

Every year about this time I have to retrain them to stay away.

If I win the lottery this week, I will get a new computer system with bird recognition software, and one of those propane varment spooking machines. Also everything you need to monitor the system from your office. That will end any goose, cormorant, or pterodactyl problems you might encounter.
