The rare Neotropic Cormorant continues to be reported by birders from near and far. I arrived at about 3:55 this afternoon and had the good luck of seeing it as it rested out of the water on a log. Since it was down in the creek I used my car door as a blind to allow me to get quite a few shots without the bird becoming skittish from my presence.
A photo taken today showing the mottled underparts of an immature bird as. well as a few of other details needed to confirm the species is now up on flickr
Getting to know more about this bird with each visit is a real treat. Luckily I live just 4 minutes away! This is only the second NECO I've seen in over 30 years of birding. .
