Oklahoma State Bird
I was just out in my yard doing some early morning birding and suddenly from above there is a flock of Cormorants then another. I saw in the far distance more flocks so I waited..they were traveling right over my house and flying so low I could hear their wings flapping. I looked again to the South and saw even more coming..and they are still flying over my house as I type. There are thousands, not exaggerating, so wonder if they are migrating. We have a lake 5 minutes north of our farm so they may stop by there. Nothing from the South of us close by, some larger lakes south about 3 hours away. I stood out there watching all these birds fly over for about 20-25 minutes then came in to post. We have cormorants at the lake but I'm thinking these are new arrivals since so many at one time. Is it time for the cormorants in the more southern parts to start migrating?
