Avery Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Double-crested Cormorant. Cormorants will also dry their wings like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 My husband still has trouble differentiating between the two also especially at a distance. You'll get there very likely faster than my husband will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
