Cormoran à aigrettes / Double-Crested Cormorant [Phalacrocorax auritus]
2021.02.21
Saint-Georges-de-Clarenceville, Quebec
Viewed from a distance, I thought it was a dark plastic bag hanging at the top of a tree.
Well, no it isn't! This is a Double-Crested Cormorant the neck stuck between 2 branches, hanging 10 meters above the creek.
WTH is it doing there?
Was it left there by a bird of prey?
An accident of nature?
It's more strange due to the fact this should have happened during the winter, where cormorants are normally down in the south in our latitudes...
Anyways, never seen that before, and nobody seems to understand this unusual situation.
