Runt Cormorant and mid-week rarities

[Steven Mlodinow]

Greetings All

I've posted photos of the small cormorant at Windsor Lake from yesterday. Input so far has been mixed, but I suspect the final opinion will be that it is a runt Double-crested. There is a discussion attached to the photos. Interestingly, one photo (not posted) shows a blue mouth interior, which seems to be unusual in Neotropical and common in DC Corms. Tony Leukering has set his teeth into this, so we'll see what comes of that mark.

Crappy photos of rare birds include the Hale area Summer Tanager, Magnolia Warbler and RE Vireos plus a Piping Plover at Cheraw.
