The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel islands probably offer the best opportunities for observing Great Cormorants in Virginia (be sure to get a letter of permission from the Bridge-Tunnel Authority). You might also try some of the vantage points at Kiptopeke State Park, or perhaps Rudee Inlet. >>>Philip E. Merritt" <pemerritt@erols.com> 10/11/98 05:33pm >>> Hi everyone, I just joined mdosprey. I was wondering where in Maryland or Virginia I stand a chance of finding a Great Comorant. I realize it is not quite the right time of year for them yet, but was hoping to get a location. Any ideas or suggestions??? Alex Merritt pemerritt@erols.com
