A Double-crested Cormorant Just Up From A Dive This cormorant is likely one of the many nesting on Middlenatch Island not far from Whaletown. At last count there were 327 nesting pairs on that island. The Phalacrocorax auritis on our coast probably belong to the subspecies “albociliatus”.

    When you look closely, they have stunning eyes, a mix of green and blue. I also enjoy how they non-stop argue and battle for the best spot on some branch sticking out of the water. Posted 6 years ago

      Yes, their eyes are quite beautiful. I like their “greasiness” when they slide or dive in the water. They have an oily appearance about them. Posted 6 years ago
