Hi Janet,
 As you may know I collect birding checklists. Someone gave me  one years 
ago from Sandy Point State Park. It was a mimeographed copy of their  
checklist (remember the "purple" ink?) and the only reason I kept it was because  
it listed "Double-breasted Cormorant" as a species. I haven't been to the 
park  that often, but when I do, I look for those birds. I'm curious to see 
what they  look like...

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...
