I've seen hundreds of cormorants but I have yet to see one in a tree. I only see them in the ocean or on rocks, boats or buoys.

I see them regularly in trees in Germany, away from the coast. On lakes surrounded by trees and bushes they hang out in the trees and not only to dry off.

I've never actually seen cormorants away from the ocean. Never on fresh water. It makes me wonder if ours have in the US Northeast have different ways.

A quick trip to the lower great lakes would be a revelation then; there are thousands of them on Lake Ontario alone - and they nest in trees!

These Cormorants are generally seen during the rainy season (June to August) here. They come here to dry themselves. Although some do have nests as well.

Are the first two pics a Syke's Warbler?

AFAIK Double-crested Cormorants can be seen in the Great Lakes region.
The sinensis race of the Great Cormorant can be seen inland throughout Europe. I've even seen them at the Yellow River in an otherwise very dry region in China.

I think those are Black Kites. Nice backyard you have there, though. I wish we had shrikes in urban habitats here in Europe, too...

Yeah they appear to be Syke's Warbler. I mistook it for Asian brown flycatcher.

Thanks!

Are those kites? Could be. My backyard fortunately is a green spot in a otherwise concrete jungle! Shrikes come here in November, stick around for couple of months and then vanish..! Regularly observing them since last 3 yrs.

Thanks!
