Double-crested Cormorant

These two cormorants were sunbathing on a log in Kirk Pond. I believe they are double crested cormorants based on the information below. The one on the right would be a juvenile, having a paler neck and breast.

Terrific shot of them, Vern. Isn't it amazing that what we think of as "black" birds can be so light in their younger days!? They are so fun to watch too.

Lovely shot Vern, I like getting some vitamin D, and they mostly do it to get warm and dry.

Great capture of these two, and I especially like the one drying his wings.

They seem to have something to say ...
