Have you seen them?

For the past month, we've been seeing two pairs of Double Crested Cormorants hanging out on the island trees and sometimes perched on the shore rocks. These gangly, prehistoric-looking brownish-black fishing birds have orange facial skin and look almost like a cross between a goose and a loon. They're expert divers and thrive on small fish. We spied this one at our shoreline, watched by the geese and spreading its wings to dry.
