pointreyesbirder Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 @AlexHenry and @Avery were so generous with their time on the first post today with terrible photos, I'll push my luck with one more set of ridiculous shots. Seen this morning in Houston at El Franco Lee park far in the distance. Geese, I assume? Does the profile allow the species to be identified? Thanks for any insights, as always.

AlexHenry Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 My guess based on the kinked necks would be Double-crested Cormorant (or Neotropic?) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed hogg Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 My first thought was a cormorant too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLecy Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Double-crested Cormorants. Neotropic Cormorants have much more compact head/neck profile in flight. These birds appear "front-heavy" due to longer necks and shorter tail, indicated DCCO. NECOs appear much more balanced in flight. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Yup, Double-crested Cormorants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
