Neotropic Cormorant (Nannopterum brasilianum) (1)
- Reported Jun 12, 2025 09:50 by Reef Comer
- Morro Creek mouth, San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.8624411&<ll...>,-120.8624411 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S249644368 - Comments: "Continuing 2nd year bird. Flew in from the south and up the creek briefly, before turning back and going down the creek and over the bridge, where I lost it. Flew directly over the small sycamore, but never landed. Unfortunately, it was perfectly blocked by the railing and wasn’t able to see which direction it went. Noticeably smaller than double-crested with long tail, mostly dark brown underside with some paler mottling, pointy whitish V at gape starting to come in, dark lores, and short bill."
