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.KEN

Heading north. Looks like the silhouette in Sibley, though. My best guess.Nancy Cusumano
