by Meetkumar Patel For my EUCURA research project, I studied predator disturbance events at a ground-nesting double-crested cormorant colony at Tommy Thompson Park with Professor Gail Fraser. It is important to understand predation because it can cause birds to move to other areas to nest. For example, some cormorants have recently moved to nest in trees […]
