One of my regular, cormorant fishing buddies One of the cormorants that I have been around so much, they accept my very close presence.  I have always been tempted to touch one in that they let me that close, but after spending a considerable amount of time building a relationship with these guys, I don't want to chance anything that might frighten them.
