[Birdnet] Neotropic Still there

[Larry Tripp]

The Neotropic Cormorant was still there tonight. I got to the lake at about 5:00 pm and looked in the spot where Rick first saw it and it wasn't there. I saw a lot of Cormorants were toward the south end of the Lake so I drove down the road on the west side ( coming from Cedar City it's the first left heading south after passing the lake. I went to 2000 south and drove the dirt road towards the lake parked and walked to the shore line. Looking to the south I first saw the bird on the dike that crosses the lake close to the south end.
 Rick showed up shortly after that and the bird had flown to the east side and was mixed in with a lot of D C Cormorants and White Pelicans. It took us a while to relocate the bird. When it's in the open it's pretty easy to pick out but it spent some time back in the bushes where it's hard to see. We watched it until sunset.

There's probably 75+ D C Cormorants there but size alone makes it pretty easy to pick out. There isn't a lot of access spots there so you  definitely need a scope. I'm sure it moves around and may be hidden at times.

It's a great bird for the state you better get down and look for it.
