Great cormorants

Phalacrocorax carbo

Description:

Large with long, thick neck. Head profile rather wedge-shaped and angular, bill strong. In flight, superficially goose-like, but told by incidence of brief glides breaking active flight.

Notes:

I watched groups of cormorants flying over in the space of 10 minutes. The four photos above show 3 different groups of birds, migrating here for the winter.
