- A local notice said Wildlife Club members might use “bird bangers” to harass cormorants in the harbor and Lake G and asserted that a federal wildlife agency had approved the procedure. Because the post does not identify the agency document or permit, the assertion is not treated as independent proof of authorization.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011522
