I guess it's the nature of we birder's to want to turn a poorly seen and/or
seemingly out of the ordinary bird into a rarity. But while John Haas'
self-described poor quality photos ARE distant, blurry, and overly contrasty,
they are not so bad as to rule out the most probable identification—
If this is not a wildly aberrant plumage, I would have to say that these
photos most resemble a species I saw off Ushuaia, the southern tip of
Argentina, the Imperial Shag, which would be quite remarkable. But with
birds, nothing is impossible. ( I do have some photos if anyone has an
interest
Interesting photos of the cormorant. I am no expert on cormorants, but it
seems to strongly resemble a race of the European Cormorant, phalacrocorax
carbo sinensis, or maybe maroccanus.
