User's notes

Initially I saw two of these Comorants on a dead branch beside the river bank. My approach startled them but they flew off in different directions. Later I saw two cormorants fly west to east along the river and land down stream from me. They spent some time in the middle of the river diving underwater. About ten minutes later, probably those two birds flew back along the river past me, upstream from east to west.
