- 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/S250797081 - Comments: "Chasing the first county record of this bird. I arrived at the creek mouth and another birder pointed out the smallish all dark cormorant, smaller and more slender than Double-crested, sitting on a log in the creek. Was able to observe it for a few minutes then it flew downstream and out over the ocean."
