Birds or a Feather, or Nature Can Be Harsh

As we left Picton, en route to Belleville, Ontario we passed this strange looking island.

We were told that the birds are cormorants, fish-eaters that prey on abundant or easy-to-catch species. They are considered a nuisance because  the birds will totally destroy the trees, stripping the bark for nesting, and consume all the fish.

We cleared customs in Picton, Ontario and now display the Canadian courtesy flag, along with the Looper (AGLCA) flag.
