Cormorants look all dark below, have a longer tail than geese, and have a kink in their thick neck like someone had tried to strangle them

Nancy, that's exactly right for migrating cormorants. Yesterday we had several small flocks like that over Mt. Pleasant and I had a small flock of 5 over my house in Ithaca. They can look very much like geese, but they will often circle higher and reform their flock, which geese never do.

Just saw what I believe were a flock of cormorants, pretty high up, in a flock like geese, maybe 35-40 of them. Heading north. Looks like the silhouette in Sibley, though. My best guess.
