[EBB Sightings] late posting big feeding flock dc cormorants

Hi ..july 19 observed several huge "conga lines" of
double crested cormorants collectively swimming and
feeding in the southern waters of the North Basin
section of Eastshore State Park in Berkeley...(north
of university ave. and west of frwy)....each group
perky bills all facing in same direction, busily
treading water, then slowly heading out and changing
bill direction like synchronized swimmers....few brown
pelican
"interlopers" doing sit dives also.....350+
cormorants...
have seen groups like these before in this location,
starting in the spring, sometimes swimming in large
ovals, really stirring up the waters.....
cheers, Corinne Louise
