Last spring on May 8, 2010 I observed a banded immature Double-crested
Cormorant roosting at Liberty Lake on the Baltimore / Carroll County line. I
was able to read the F2F on the plastic band and reported it to the banding
office. The office had no record of it at that time. I expected that it had
been banded somewhere in Maryland or Virginia but I was way off. Today I
received the banding certificate in the mail. It had been banded as a
flightless young on July 15, 2009 on the Four Brothers Islands, Lake
Champlain, 5.7 miles NE of Willsboro, New York. That's about 40 miles south
of the Canadian border.
   I encourage everyone to submit reports of any readable bands of any
species. You may be surprised as I was.
