[birdky] DC Cormorant

In Melissa's Jonathan Creek post, she reminded us not to be complacent about 
the common birds we see every day and included cormorants among those common 
birds often taken for granted. 
  Funny that she should mention cormorants. Mark Bennett and I saw a Double 
Crested Cormorant just a few days ago (Oct 13) on a farm pond here in Logan 
County. It was a life bird for me and a county bird for Mark. (You can tell I 
don't visit the big lakes much). We thought for a while that it looked like it 
could be a Neotropical Cormorant but from pictures, Dave Roemer says no. If 
Dave says no, it's no. 
  Just because our bird wasn't a Neotropical Cormorant doesn't mean one 
couldn't be hiding among the ho-hum throngs of DC Cormorants on the big lakes.
