    All that poo looks like ice! When I was in Maine I had never even heard of a Comorant, now I would have been pretty excited to see all of those together. But, ugh, the poo!

    Looks like you hit the jackpot on these Commorants. They each look to be doing there own thing. And, I agree with Leedra in that the poo looks like ice. Good night~

    Oh my. That IS a pretty well-covered area. I saw some commorants in Northern California along with gulls but they hadn't quite covered the rocks with their poo as yet!

    We have cormorants in Bermuda and it is amazing to see how deep they can dive when fishing.

    They stand like proud proprietors of poo rock. Good on 'em. They are lovely regal hunters.

    Fantastic! I've seen a lot of cormorants, in singles or pairs, but never up close. This looks like a great birding site.
