It has been a while since we have had a "Bird Word" --.  
 
My daily dictionary word of the day:
 
1.  .Cormorant:  Any species of Phalacrocorax, a genus of sea birds. . . . . .  
.cormorants devour fish voraciously and have become an emblem of gluttony. . . 
. . . . they are black and known as sea ravens or coal geese.
2.  A gluttonous, greedy or rapacious person.
 
Seems to me, lately, we have had cause to use those three words in describing 
some of our recent banking problems.??  I wonder what a group of cormorants is 
called?
