Les Paul "The cormorant has had a significant (negative) effect in some areas," said Paul Schmidt, assistant director of migratory birds with the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Their live shows, featuring Urban's standout lead guitar playing, led to a record deal with Capitol Nashville and a management contract with I.R.S.
Guitar Lessons Under the proposal, the 24 states, American Indian tribes and the U.S. Department of Agriculture may devise plans to kill cormorants by destroying eggs and shooting birds. The states must inform federal authorities of their plans and provide information about the number of birds killed, Schmidt said.

Guitar Pro Michigan officials said they will form a team to study and make a recommendation on the cormorant plan in the coming weeks.
Bass Guitar "We recognize that cormorants are a problem, both biologically and sociologically in several parts of the state," said Brad Wurfel, spokesman for the Department of Natural Resources.
Electric Guitar He said the four-agency partnership is necessary to develop a cormorant management plan. He also accused federal officials of occasionally dumping programs on states "without any funding and with restrictions that made the programs unworkable."
Acoustic Guitar Schmidt said the program is not meant to be a burden but a tool states can use.
Teardrops On My Guitar "I recognize states are not going to be in a position to do everything they want to do," he said.
Guitar Strings Cormorants are hated in many northern Michigan communities. Each bird can gulp a pound of fish per day and their highly acidic waste destroys vegetation. Thousands of birds nest on northern Michigan islands.
Ultimate Guitar Tabs The Michigan Audubon Society has yet to review the latest studies on cormorant numbers and environmental impact, but a spokesman said the group may not oppose the plan. State and federal authorities must continue to monitor cormorant numbers if a control plan is implemented.
Guitar Chord "We're not anti-management, we're pro making wise management decisions," said Ray Adams, chairman of Audubon's research committee. "I don't think there's any question we've had a tremendous increase in cormorant numbers."
Guitar Music Larry Lienczewski, a Bay City charter fisherman, motors his boat from Bay City to Oscoda every year and runs through thousands of cormorants, all feeding in the water.
Online Guitar Tuner "It's unbelievable. We see them all over the bay," he said. "I'd say in the last 7 or 8 years it's really gotten out of hand."
Classical Guitar Lienczewski thinks cormorants are at least partly to blame for declining yellow perch numbers and said cormorants also take a toll on islands that dot Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron. The birds nest on the islands and their waste is suspected of killing trees and vegetation.
Guitar Notes "You can just see the old dead trees, the foliage is gone. It's just nasty," Lienczewski said.
Gibson Les Paul Cormorants flock to the Les Cheneaux Islands off the southeast Upper Peninsula coast where thousands nest.
Guitar Tuning Brian Harrison, owner of The Great Outdoors bait and tackle shop in nearby Cedarville, accused the Fish and Wildlife Service of reacting too slowly to explosive cormorant population growth. He said the birds have devastated the yellow perch fishery while also muscling out blue herons, terns and plovers that used to nest on the islands.
Guitar Songs "The people who actually make the decisions on these things are totally removed from the effect of (cormorants)," he said.
Guitar Scales "Ten years ago I kind of thought it was a controllable thing," he said.
Teardrops On My Guitar Lyrics Today, he doubts whether locals will be able to kill enough birds to significantly reduce the population.
Guitar Hero Iii Schmidt said the proposal would allow the state to designate local groups to kill cormorants, a plan that should get plenty of support in the Les Cheneaux Islands.
Martin Guitars "There are a number of people up here, a lot of resort owners who are really concerned about declining fish numbers," said Norm Perkins, a charterboat captain. "I believe you'd see a lot of people get involved (in killing cormorants)."
Taylor Guitars A 60-day public comment period on the cormorant proposal expires May 16. If adopted, Schmidt said, cormorant control measures could be in place by fall.
Guitar World The 24 states permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to devise plans to manage double-crested cormorant populations in areas where the water birds are damaging fish or vegetation:
