[<birder1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
I had a very cooperative DC Cormorant today, of which I was able to get a 
pretty good 'portrait' of. I have added a couple of shots of this bird, and 
also a couple of true Neotropics from a TX trip last year to my gallery. One of 
these Neotrop photos is also a portrait type, and the two illustrate pretty 
well the differences on the two birds. I bring this up to help anyone else with 
this potentially tricky ID, after I struggled for a while with an unusual DC 
Cormorant in Memphis last month. I have looked at a lot of Cormorant images 
online, and they are often blatantly straightforward, but many were pretty 
tough to call from the photos posted.

If interested try: http://www.pbase.com/mctodd/doublecrested_cormorant  The new 
photos follow the ones of the "Neotropic-ish" DC Cormorant from Memphis. :')

Good birding!!
