For  those of us trying for the bird this evening, exactly where was it 
seen  
last night?
Below are excellent directions which had been sent to me by Nico  Sarbanes 
after his successful Friday evening quest. Yesterday the  suspect bird was 
one of many cormorants in a sycamore on the left side of the  island to the 
right in a string of islands, as best as I can remember. Allow  time for the 
walk.
 
from Nico: 
About 1/2 or 3/4 of a mile down the trail that goes south along the canal,  
you will start to see cliffs on the opposite side of the canal (not the 
river). Keep walking  until you see the path curve to the left significantly.  
Walk to the end of  the curve, or close to the end of it, and look out into 
the river, and you  should see a couple of islands with elms, sycamores, and 
most likely  cormorants.  The Neotropic Cormorant is noticeably brown, and 
the smaller  bill, feet, and overall size of the bird should be noted, 
especially when in  comparison to the dozens of Double-Crested that should be 
there.
