This dark bird was easily startled, and took off to the water almost immediately. These water birds are about 1ft(30.48 cm) and about 1.25(38.1cm long). These birds have very dark plumage, ranging from different shades of brown and black. The beaks of these birds appear to be up to 4in(10.16cm). Their beaks are a shade of grayish-pink.
I believe it's a young double crested cormorant
First Kinglet in my yard for Fall '22
Anyone have any idea here?
