ORLEANS - Bird crap wire: "At least 400 cormorants sit on the power lines across Cedar Pond each day in the late summer and early fall. As the birds release guano they contribute significant and damaging amounts of organic matter and nutrients into the water, including phosphorus and bacteria, town officials and consultants say." Eversource Energy has agreed to prepare a cost estimate for burying the bird's favorite power lines. [Cape Cod Times]
