Hey everyone, Rita's post reminded me of something. 1. The Neotropic Cormorants are back in Iowa. 2. There's a massive warm front coming this weekend. and 3. It's April when everything is moving. So if you see any cormorants, please make sure to double-check them to make sure they're all Double-crested and there isn't a Neotropic hanging out with them. Who knows, you might get lucky. Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County Interpretive Naturalist Mississippi Explorer Cruises http://mississippiexplorer.com/ http://swallowtailedkite.blogspot.com/ http://www.nabirding.com/http://www.flickr.com/photos/swallowtailphoto "The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again."
