That sounds more like an Ahinga, they don't have the oils that
Cormorants have so they have to dry their wings out between each dive.
Cormorants don't have to do that and seldom do. The two birds look very
much alike otherwise.

Ecke,
I believe they are fishing birds, diving into the water.
My only shots of them are standing on posts in the water, wings spread
to dry-out.
Regards, Bob S.

Sighted my first ever cormorant this weekend and it seems to have
taken up a spot close to where I live. I managed to get some shots
with the DA*60-250 but they're all not quite tack sharp so I need to
focus check that lens but also need to find that cormorant again in
order to get a good shot and finally become a "full patch PDMLer" =)
Therefore, I'll appreciate any advice from the experienced what kind
of places a cormorant would choose as temporary residence, if any and
also what their active hours are, etc. I have a whole weekend to try
this so whatever you can throw my way will hopefully help me
Cheers
Ecke

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
