Mark F Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 My best guess is that this is a Double-crested Cormorant. Seen near San Francisco Bay the day before yesterday. Thanks for your help.

pinelaker Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Looks like a pelagic cormorant to me. With the the very thin bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psweet Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Double-crested would have extensive orange facial skin both above the lores and below the eyes, extending back to a curve on the throat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
