<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Folks -</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Late last evening I found an
adult Neotropic Cormorant at Lee Kay Ponds. He was huddled with about
20 Double-crested Cormorants.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Roberta and I watched the bird for a couple of
hours this morning (Sunday). Jack Binch joined us and got some
photos. The bird was quite active. We initially found him on the big
main pond. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>When we left at 9:45, the bird
was on the eastern most pond with 10 of his cousins and feeding alongside the
pelicans.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This guy's small size certainly makes him stand
out, but also watch for the white V at the base of the bill. In fact, if
you get the right view, you'll notice the white border all the way around the
throat pouch and even some remnants of the white feathering found on the neck
during breeding season.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And just for what it's worth, the bird kept company
with the other cormorants both times I watched him vs. separating himself from
the pack.</FONT></DIV>
