Bird Attack

Today's story takes us back to a hunting trip my dad made up near the Aggasiz refuge. He and his friend Mike were hunting and it was barely light out. Dad saw what he thought was an injured goose. He went to pick it up and it took a swipe right across dad's eyes. Instead of a goose it was a cormorant. Dad came home with scratched corneas and an intense curiosity about why cormorants were protected birds.
