Kingston - First sighted on July 28, the bird still shows up daily on one of two favourite rocks near shore. That's the way to get a rarity.

Chris: Wow. Somebody did a good job “reviewing” their cormorants and not missing this one 😁
BrianMorin: Size helps in this case. Thankfully the smaller size, when next to a Double-crested, is noticeable.

Chris: I tried but failed to get a photo of this species. Excellent job.
BrianMorin: You are right about the challenge. Its preference for very tall dead trees makes it a tough one to capture.

Details: juvenile

Oshawa - Had great fun with a couple of very obliging regional rarities that allowed very close approach. Actually they were the ones approaching us, not the other way around. At times they were as close as a metre. If these birds are ever reported we'd expect to check specific fields, especially sod farms but in this case they were feeding on algae-covered rocks along a beach on Lake Ontario.

Chris: Fabulous. This colour always stands out to me as unique for some reason.
BrianMorin: The buffy colour stands out. There is a similar colour on parts of a Baird's but it is not as prominent as on this species.
