Sheesh! If it were Idaho there'd be a 20-bird bag limit on cormorants.
Hell, we have a hunting season for Sandhill Cranes.

I've never seen a cormorant in Idaho, and God help the first one that
shows up.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but:

I Googled Idaho cormorant. There's one species, the double-crested
cormorant, that is native and very distinct, but I've never seen one.
It's designated non-game protected species.

If any non-double-crested cormorants show up, they should say their
prayers. :-)
