Double-crested Cormorants
In spring and summer, we normally have 6-7 Double-crested Cormorants on our small lake. This spring we have had an invasion! More cormorants here than I have ever seen in the 20 years we have lived here. We do have several large lakes in our area and cormorants in spring and summer are common. But this many on our small lake is a surprise. I don’t think they will all stay here for the summer – my guess is they will move to the larger lakes. But it is a marvel to see all of them together right now! I took this photo yesterday and this is not all of them – there was another group farther away. Altogether, I would say there are about 30. What have you been seeing and hearing?
