Description
Snake Island was barely discernible in the middle of the skyscape. Snake Island used to have a few tall elm trees before the cormorants arrived. Sailers remark that "the shore line around Snake Island is covered with water foul. It is also foul smelling down wind." I watched a cloud of birds take off from the island and I was surprised to see that they were all cormorants when they flew along the shoreline in front of me. I was expecting Canada geese and was quite disappointed at the large number of cormorants.
This brings back memories as Portsmouth Harbour was where I started my meteorological career after being hired by Environment Canada and after graduation from Queens University in Nuclear Physics. The sailing portion of the 1976 Olympics were held at Portsmouth Harbour and I helped the qualified meteorologists.
