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.
