Eagles construct their nests in a similar way. It's really hard to believe all those sticks are comfortable! Good shot!

[Dorothy]

Amazing shot!

[Kate]

Love that blue eye!

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great shot! Love the blue eyes. Will you be able to check back often to see when the hatchlings arrive? I don't think I've ever seen baby cormorants.

The queen of the cormorants! The ones we have look a little different though they have similar beaks and eyes.

Wonderful capture of cormorant! I love when they stand and spread their wings in the sun.

@mccarth1 Not really Kerry, most of them are there and I will only go once a month. On the third shot I posted, a mum was feeding the chick. I do have another shot of chicks, but only their black heads ;-)
