On page 3 of the Metro section in Sunday's Washington Post, the following 
item appeared in the "Animal Watch" feature. Note the alleged species of the 
bird involved:

"Arlington police called animal control about a bird lying injured at the 
roadside. Animal control officers identified it as a double breasted 
cormorant, a type of seabird. A nearby fisherman said the bird had swooped 
and stolen a fish off his line and then ended up on the sidewalk by the 
street. It appeared that it had flown into an overpass. An officer took the 
bird to the shelter. It was transferred to a wildlife rehabilitator, who 
will care for it until it is ready for release."

Whoops...
