User's notes

There were once again three Little Pied Cormorants in the same dead tree as there had been a few weeks before. Two of the three birds were essentially preening themselves, while the middle bird, shown in the first photo as the bird at the top right was the most active. Yes, in the second photograph it is defecating. The second time the bird did it in the few minutes I was watching. Shortly after that action was complete it took off. I was waiting for the other two to follow but they stayed put the whole time I was at the lake.
