Description
Pyrotechnics and helicopter flyovers were used to harass double-crested connorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) at 4 roost sites in the Delta region of Mississippi. Roosting connorants were easily dispersed from 3 of the 4 sites. Average numbers of cormorants observed at selected catfish (lctaluridae) ponds and day roosts near foraging areas also declined after harassment began.
