Day 91: We had some strong winds last night, so perhaps that accounts for the presence of nine or ten Double-Crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) at Mineral Lake. If I have seen them there before, I do not recall the occasion. With rain pelting down, I zoomed in at 71x from the fishing dock to capture this bird posturing before (s)he flew off to join a larger group where courting activity appeared to be taking place. The lighter color on the breast indicates a young bird, late first year.
