Phalacrocorax pelagicus
Found on the dock pilings in Anacortes, WA. Black feathers that glistened green in the sun.
Its fourth now.. :)Good efforts for shooting..!!
Thanks Ashish! I agree.
I like last picture of four..most...rare moment..!!
Ashish and Saar thanks! I will update the post. Also, Ashish, you are correct it was a nest with junveniles. One of the pictures still loading shows bits of wood in one birds beak on its way back to the nest.
I feel there is nest in first picture and Gray headed is a juvenile bird..!!
Nice spotting!
Yes...Saar they are Cormorants..!!
They look like "cormorant" for me.
