For much of the winter, and as recently as 17 Feb I have only seen a single Double-crested Cormorant at the south end of Cayuga Lake. This past Sunday, 19 Feb, Norm Trigoboff reported to the Natural-History-L listserv that he saw a dead cormorant:
I walked the eastern part of the Stewart Park shore and found a washed up cormorant that seemed much smaller up close than I would've thought.
I didn't see any cormorants during the first half of the week, and I thought perhaps there were none here, but today while walking at Treman Marine Park I saw a living immature DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT resting on the substructure of one of the docks in the marina. Were there 2 all along? Is this a new arrival? Was the carcass something else?
