Cormorants

Thank you for the lovely comments on the Song Sparrow, and for the ID which is much appreciated.

That's it for unusual birds. All the others were birds we see in the UK. Boo hoo!

Well ... this being taken in the US, those could be Double-crested Cormorants. Then again, Maine being on the North Atlantic, they could also be Great Cormorants. Then again ... October? Great Cormorants are only vagrants there in Winter and then only on the ocean shore. On an inland lake one would only expect Double-cresteds. So, tentatively, congrats on yet another lifer |=)|

Had I no sight, sweet Kits,
the sparkles in this photograph
would let me see those birds
upon that boat, would grant
to me the new-born joys of all
such beauties on this earth.
A coruscating capture of these
double-crested cormorants, Kits.
Congratulations. Your Magic
went with you.
