Sengenkontaket : June 12th

I was bass fishing on Sengenkontaket and saw flight after flight of commorants coming in to roost at sunset. I decided to make an impromtu video showing just how many commorants are on sarsons island. To me it seems that there are more and more each year. As I approached the island in my boat the stench was unbearable it seemed to burn my eyes from the ammonia smell. There had to be close to 1000 birds.
