Hey Jeff, The photos, although representative of the birds I saw on that particular field trip, I may have take on another day. For instance, although I saw a bunch of cormorants on that trip (and every trip to the S. Fork), I think that particular photo was taken in April. The cormorants do indeed nest here.

Seems very early, do they breed there? Good Birding !!! Jeff R.
