Book Synopsis
Tells the story of the survival, recovery, astonishing success, and controversial status of the double-crested cormorant. After surviving near extinction driven by DDT and other contaminants from the 1940s through the early 1970s, the cormorant has made an unprecedented comeback from mere dozens to a population in the millions, bringing the bird again into direct conflict with humans.

Trade Review
Dennis Wild's The Double-Crested Cormorant is a fascinating read that addresses the biological and legal issues and the public conflicts to show how polarized 'cormorant management' has become. Wild's book rings loud and clear in addressing biology while responding to conflicts and dealing with cormorant dynamics in a fair and balanced manner—not always an easy task." — Albert M. Manville II, Ph.D., Senior Wildlife Biologist, Division of Migratory Bird Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

"This book gives a comprehensive but easily read history lesson of both the natural history of cormorants and their interactions with humans." — Natural Areas Journal
