I just received a call from Jim Stasz.? He and Ed Boyd are viewing a very small cormorant that shows characteristics of Neotropic Cormorant on the Potomac River between Rt. 340 and the Shenandoah River.?
Here is the information that I got off the phone:
sitting on a snag with 3 Double-crested Cormorant
Very small
subadult plumage that is uniform brown on the front
yellow bill
proportionally long tail
There is a pull-off on the VA side of westbound Rt 340 where they walked to the river and are currently viewing the bird.? Walking on the C&O Canal on the MD might also be an option.?
Good birding!
